If Wishes Were Horses - Lyrics

If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I'd wear one by my side.
If "if's" and "and's" were pots and pans,
There'd be no work for tinkers' hands!

If Wishes Were Horses can also be sung in a shorter version:

If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If turnips were bayonets,
I'd wear one by my side!
