Day of Sharing Song PART 2 -If I had a boat


I'm a huge Lyle Lovett fan & If I Had A Boat is #1 on my itunes.
Listen Here

Still working on my Pony picture; been a chaotic week. Hoped to post it with this song but got tired of waiting for it to be done. Here are a couple of my boat pics insteadIf I can get my act together both Morning Fog (the top image) & Ship of Fools (just above) will be available in my etsy shop, ArtSnark's Artifacts this weekend.

Some of the Angels will be too. A couple have already been sold however. Just click on image & once it's in the shop you'll be taken right to it.

For the curious here are the Lyrics to If I Had A Boat:
If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

If I were roy rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea wed sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a tonto
cause tonto did the dirty work for free
But tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare em by the shade tree
And I'd scare em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

  1. Great song and lyrics! I have heard the Dave Matthews remake of this song! I am currently listening to a variety of songs...just depends on my mood I guess. I like MGMT's song Electric Feel and the Kaiser Chiefs song Ruby...see if you like them! They are both kind of different:)

  3. I love Lyle Lovett !!! I've seen him a couple times here at Jazz Fest. He performed "Stand By Your Man" (can you imagine a guy singing that??) and it blew me away. The audience went nuts. He is a huge talent.
    Great 2nd choice of song.
