If I knew where the wild dove flew I would not tell the hunter but I would tell you Though they say you're not a brave man hardly a man at all You would not shoot the wild things like brave men in the fall <♪> If I knew where calypso bloomed I would not tell the ladies but I would tell you For you would not take the flower for money or for love Or harm a single petal 'cause you would not shoot the dove <♪> If I knew where our green love grew I would not tell the others but I would tell you For 'though the world may call you craven I know it is not true And 'though a sword may hang between us my songs are all for you
