I could while away the hours Conferrin with the flowers Consultin with the rain And my head I’d be scratchin While my thoughts were busy hatchin If I only had a brain
I’d unravel any riddle For any individd-el In trouble or in pain With the thoughts I’d be thinkin I could be another lincoln If I only had a brain
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean’s near the shore I could think of things I never thunk before And then I’d sit and think some more
I would not be just a nothin My head all full of stuffin My heart all full of pain Perhaps I deserve you And be even worthy erve you If I only had a brain
