IF I HAD A SHIP
Mason Williams
Recorded by The Kingston Trio

CHORUS: If I had a ship, I'd sail away.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.
Leave my sorrows where they lay.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.

Stroll down by the sea.
Take a stroll down by the bay.
Sit and ponder the endless waves.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.

(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.
(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.
(Leave my sorrows where they lay) Leave my sorrows where they lay.
(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.

Stroll down by the sea
Where the wind songs softly play.
Lean my back on a driftwood tree.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.

If I had a ship, I'd sail away (I would sail away).
If I had a ship, I'd sail away (I would sail away.)
Leave my sorrows where they lay.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.

Stroll down by the sea.
Stand beside her misty spray.
'Though I know 'twill never be,
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.

(Chorus)

(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.
(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.
(Leave my sorrows where they lay) Leave my sorrows where they lay
(If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away.

If I had a ship, I'd sail away.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away.
Leave my sorrows where they lay.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away. (I'd sail away.)
