If I could choose the life I please, Then I would be a boatman. On the canals and the rivers free, No hasty words are spoken. My only law the river breeze, That takes me to the open seas. If I could choose the life I please, Then I would be a boatman. If I could choose the life I please, Then I would be a rover. And if the road was not for me, Then I would choose another. Cross mountains and valleys deep, Where I would take these weary feet. If I could choose the life I please, Then I would be a rover. But these things they're so hard for me, I cannot choose my own destiny. And all the things that I want to see, Are so unclean. Well I wish I could choose the life I please, I am not a free man. Others rule my destiny, But my will is never broken. I know someday I will be, Everything that I dreamed I'd be. And when I live the life I please, Then I will be a freeman. I know someday I will be, Everything that I dreamed I'd be. And when I live the life I please, Then I will be a freeman. And when I live the life I please, Then I will be a freeman. www.levellers.co.uk
