If I Knew Lyrics - Joan Baez

If I knew where the wild dove flew 

I would not tell the hunter, but I would tell you 

Though they say you're not a brave man, hardly a man at all 

You would not shoot the wild things, like brave men in the fall 

Mmmm mm 

If I knew where calypso bloomed, 

I would not tell the ladies, but I would tell you 

For you would not take the flower, for money or for love 

Or harm a single petal, 'cause you would not shoot the dove 

Mmmm mm

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

If I knew where our green love grew 

I would not tell the others, but I would tell you 

For 'though the world may call you craven, I know it is not true 

And 'though a sword may hang between us, my songs are all for you 

Mmmm mm
