If I Knew — текст песни (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

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
