The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 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 mountains and 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 is never broken I know someday I will be Everything that I dreamed I'd be If I could choose the life I pleased Then I would be a boatman
