Fairport Convention If Stomp Lyrics

If Stomp Lyrics

If I were rich enough

To make you need me as much as I need you

If I could pitch enough

You'd realise what a little country bread can do



Well, if my ma had come very far

And if my pa was an oil-rig big-wig around our money town



If I were rich enough

To give you entertainment in the manner that you've been accustomed to

If I could stitch enough

I'd save you nine and throw in a Dixie too



Well, if I knew that you'd give me good times too

And if I knew that the loved one that I love loved me too



If I were rich enough

To make you need me too



If I were rich enough

To see you pretty, looking like a scene I'd dream

If you were bitch enough

You'd leave me here, a king without a queen



Well, if you do, if you leave your little boy blue

If you do, I'll shut you and you'll shout and you'll know it too



If I were rich enough

To have a  . . .  for every single day I'll wake

And if I acted rough

You'd want me more than just for wanting's sake



Mmmmm, that ain't so, I'll always be this way

Feelings grow, do the time when the sun shines then we'll know



If I were rich enough

To make you need me too
