If Wishes Were Horses
If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I’d wear one by my side.
If “if’s” and “and’s” were pots and pans,
There’d be no work for tinkers’ hands!
beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I’d wear one by my side.
If “if’s” and “and’s” were pots and pans,
There’d be no work for tinkers’ hands!
Short version
If Wishes Were Horses can also be sung in a shorter version. Here it is:
If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If turnips were bayonets,
I’d wear one by my side!
