If  I was a sailor  I would sail  you out to sea
Take  you across the ocean,  ask you  to marry  me
Oh  if I was sailor  I would sail  you home to  me
 And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you
 I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew
 Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you
 And if I was a jailer I would lock you away
 Then I'd have the key to see you each and every day
 Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today
 And if I was a rich man I'd buy you flowers every day
 But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way
 Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.
I've  wasted so much time
Writing  songs and playing  on my guitar
I've  wasted so much love
Now  I wish I'd never learnt  to play  a note.
 And if I had an aeroplane then I'd fly you away
 Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day
 Oh if I had an aeroplane then I'd whisk you away
 And if I was a betting man I'd bet you love me too
 I'd bet everything I had for the chance to be with you
 Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9-2.
I've  wasted so much time
Writing  songs and playing  on my guitar
I've  wasted so much love
Now  I wish I'd never learnt  to play  a note.
Yeah  I wish I'd never  learnt to play a  note
Oh  I wish I'd never learnt  to play a  note.
 (Solo + Chorus)
 And if I was a writer I would write a book on you
 I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do
 Oh if I was a writer I would write a book on you
 And if I was a painter I'd paint portraits of you
 Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do
 Oh if I was a painter I'd paint potraits of you.
 (Chorus)
