If I Were You

A young girl's father
an old man's son
were walking along the way
Speaking together
of things they had done
and why had it turned out this way.
If I were you and you were me
this is not the way it would be
So said he.

A tramp dressed in robes
and a king dressed in rags
Met on a stormy night.
The king knelt down
said "I've nothing to brag"
the tramp asked him for a light.
If I were you and you were me
this is not the way it would be
So said he.

A happy young virgin
a wretched old whore
met one day at the well
the virgin complained
that her life was a bore
the whore knew but she couldn't tell
If I were you and you were me
this is not the way it would be
so said she
