Kasey Chambers - If We Had a Child lyrics

If we had a child People would come from far and near Even strangers who never knew ya They’d be singing hallelujah If we had a boy (if we had a boy) We could give him a family name He’d be sweeter than sugar cane He’d be braver than Jesse James We could raise him right Down where the river end meets the sea I would right that baby boy while I hold him close Till they bury his bones and he marries someone like me If we had a child (if we had a child) It would be the talk of the town Ain’t nobody ever gonna believe ya Everybody come and gather round If we had a girl (if we had a girl) She could make a sunshine through the rain She could make a fire without a flame Not even doctors could explain We could raise her right Down where the rivers is running through I would right that baby girl forever and a day Till they take us away and she marries someone like you I’m gonna fight for who loves you most (I’m gonna fight for who loves you most) For the father, the son, and the holy ghost (Father, son, and the holy ghost) We got a world that’s best for both ‘Cause there ain’t nobody (Ain’t nobody) That’s gonna love you like me (Ain’t nobody’s gonna love you like me) If we had a child People would come from far and near Even strangers that never knew ya They’d be singing hallelujah Hallelujah (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, hallelujah they’d be singing) (If we had a child)
