If I had silver,
I'd buy the hungry a bite to eat.
If I had silver,
I'd buy the hungry a bite to eat.
But all I got is a nickel,
And worn-out shoes on my feet.
If I had wisdom,
I'd lay it down in a prayer.
If I had wisdom,
I'd lay it down in a prayer.
But all I got is questions,
And an echo in the midnight air.
Oh Lord, if I had wings, I'd fly away,
Far from the sorrow, to a brighter day.
But all I got is the blues to keep,
Draggin' me down so deep.
If I had fire,
I'd burn the sorrow away.
If I had fire,
I'd burn the sorrow away.
But I'm just a working soul,
Hoping brighter comes my day.
If I had wings, Lord, I'd fly above this town (Yeah!)
If I had wings, Lord, I'd leave this lonesome ground.
But all I got is the blues,
And it keeps on draggin' me down.
