Jimmie F. Rodgers — If I Were the Man

[Verse 1] If I were the man I used to be I wouldn't stand here Waiting for you I'd just walk away Quietly Would you go look for me? [Verse 2] Hands that hold one another May never Touch the same again Even then If I were the man It never would have been [Refrain] Losing you if I were the man [Verse 3] Take the times that we've shared together And wrap them in all In little rings of clay And roll the rings away Away from me You take the light of day [Verse 4] Winds that softly blow The thought of losing you Across my mind Leavе behind In the shifting sands All my dreams and plans [Refrain] If I wеre the man [Verse 5] If I were the man I used to be I wouldn't stand here Waitin' for you I'd just walk away Quietly Would you go look for me?
