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 save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring Well, 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 save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring Well, 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 And there's a girl, but she pays no mind to me Yeah, somethin' like the rocks beneath my feet And I hear them say, I'm missin' a 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 save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring Well, 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
