Archie Noble - John Doe's Plea Lyrics

If I was a richer man
If richer I was to be
If I was a richer man
Oh my dear would you want me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

So if I was a poorer man
If poorer I was to be
So if I was a poorer man
Oh my dear would you want me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

If I was an older man
Older like soon I will be
If I was an older man
Oh my dear would you hold me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

So if I was a younger man
Younger like I used to be
If I was a younger man
Oh my dear would you hold me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

So if I was a wiser man
If wiser I was to be
So if I was a wiser man
Oh my dear would you love me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

So if I was a stronger man
If stronger I was to be
If I was a stronger man
Oh my dear would you love me then
No no oh then I would go
Farewell farewell I would go

Then what then what do you ask of me
What my dear must I be
Then what oh what do you ask of me
When my dear when would you want me
Oh no no why must I have to say
I love you already this way
