If I could choose the life I
pleased Then I would be a boatman Along the
canals and the rivers free No hasty words are
spoken My only law is the river
breeze Would take me to the open seas If I
could choose 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 choose
another Across the 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
But these things are so hard
for me I cannot choose my own destiny And
all the things that I want to see Are so
unclean
I wish I could choose the life I
please But I am not a free man Others
choose my destiny But my will's never
broken I know someday I will be Everything
that I dreamed I'd be If I could choose the
life I pleased I would be a boatman.
