Newfoundland Hymn (If I Had The Wings Of A Butterfly)

Open your hymn books

And turn to page 28

And if you can't find page 28

Turn to 14 twice!

If I had the wings of a BUTTERFLY

Up to the mountains I'd fly (I'd fly)

There to remain as a BUTTERFLY

Until the day that I die (I die)

Chorus:

Oooh lah lah, oooh lah lah, oooh lah

Oooh lah lah, oooh lah lah lah.

(Repeat): Oooh lah lah, oooh lah lah, oooh lah

Oooh lah lah, oooh lah lah lah.

Repeat with similar verses for sparrow, buzzard, and turtle dove.

Amen.

Close your hymn books.

Good night.

And PRAISE THE LORD!

Thanks very much to Nancy Wieme, who sent me these extra verses:

If I had the wings of skeeter, a skeeter

Straight to the woods I would fly, I'd fly

I'd live out my life as a skeeter

And there as a skeeter I'd die, I'd die

If I had the wings of an airplane, an airplane

Straight to Hawaii I'd fly, I'd fly

I'd live out my life on the beaches

And there on the beach I would FRY!
