The Boatman

"If I could choose the life I pleased Then I would be a boatman/ Along the canals and the river free/ No hasty word are spoken /My only law the river breeze /Would take me to the open seas /If I could chose the life I pleased. Then I would be a boatman.

If I could choose the life I pleased /Then I would be a rover /And if the road was not for me /Then I would chose another/ Across mountains and the valleys deep /I would take these weary feet /If I could choose the life I pleased /Then I would be a rover"
