"If I Had A Lover" lyrics

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd say the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, but since I don't have either, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ole boy I'd be

That's all I want but I know it's not meant to be
But I'm jealous how the wind is free
'Cause I'm all locked up in my own misery
With nobody to blame but me

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd say the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, but since I don't have either, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ole boy I'd be

Then there's that girl but she pays no mind to me
Yeah, something like the rocks beneath my feet
And I hear them say I'm missing the forest for the tree
But I don't care when she's the prettiest tree I've seen

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd say the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, but since I don't have either, I'm about as lonely as can be
Well, if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ole boy I'd be

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd say the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, but since I don't have either, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ole boy I'd be
