Walkin Cane, John Myles

I wish I had a walkin cane
I’d walk down through those golden plains
I’d use it just like Moses staff
Separate the wheat from all that chaff
Set my people free from pain
If I just had a walkin cane

I wish I had a stove pipe hat
I stand wherever I was at
Use talkin just like Lincoln’s speeches
Shame them slavin sons of bitches
Cut the lies and trim the fat
If I just had a stove pipe hat

Walkin cane
Walkin cane
Walk the streets of Birmingham
Walk like you don’t give a damn
Walk straight up to the man

Stove pipe hat
Stove pipe hat
Tell this nation where its at
Cut the lies and trim the fat

I wish I had a pocket watch
I'd follow Ghandi back through time
I'd make that man a friend of mine
I'd ride them trains, I'd carry signs
I'd kick those British in the crotch
If I just had a pocket watch

Pocket watch
Pocket watch
Tell Jesus we wont watch and pray no more
And brotherhood is marchin out the door
We hate each other, that’s how we shake the pain
I would beat the hell out of some one
If I just had a walkin cane

I wish I had a walkin cane
I'd use it to lead a marchin band
Singin songs of faith throughout this land
Take time to love your fellow man
I’d trim the fat and break the chains
I'd walk jus like Martin Luther King
I'd save my people from all there pain
If I just had a walkin cane
I wish I had a walkin cane x
