[Chorus]
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, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy hobo I'd be
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy hobo I'd be
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy hobo I'd be
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy hobo I'd be
