wish I had some bread
to feed me fer a day
I wish I had a jug
I'd drink my sins away
wish I had a fiddle,
for on it I would play
I would play until the lord takes me away
(chorus)fiddle and jug save my soul
fer just another day
the devil took control
he's leading me astray
fiddle and jug save my soul
and pull me from decay
fiddle and jug won't you wash my sins away
wish I had a home
a place where I could stay
I wish I had a grave
to let my body lay
wish I had a bible
from it's pages I would pray
I would pray until the lord takes me away
(chorus)
wish I had a conscience
a voice I could obey
wish I had a heart
but my chest is full of hay
wish I had a fiddle
for on it I would play
I would play until the lord takes me away
to feed me fer a day
I wish I had a jug
I'd drink my sins away
wish I had a fiddle,
for on it I would play
I would play until the lord takes me away
(chorus)fiddle and jug save my soul
fer just another day
the devil took control
he's leading me astray
fiddle and jug save my soul
and pull me from decay
fiddle and jug won't you wash my sins away
wish I had a home
a place where I could stay
I wish I had a grave
to let my body lay
wish I had a bible
from it's pages I would pray
I would pray until the lord takes me away
(chorus)
wish I had a conscience
a voice I could obey
wish I had a heart
but my chest is full of hay
wish I had a fiddle
for on it I would play
I would play until the lord takes me away
