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
