If I had wings
If I had wings
I'd fly to my honey love
I'd fly to my honey love
And in her arms
And in her arms
And in her arms I'd die
And in her arms I'd die
chorus
Singing Toora-li Oora-li addidy
Oora-li
So take warning
Or you'll join me
You'll join me in Botany Bay
Or you'll join me in Botany Bay
chorus
Now all you young dukies and duchessess
Take warning from what I do say
And mind all as your own as your touchesses
Or you'll join me in Botany Bay

Here's adieu to all judges and juries
Justice and Old Bailey too
Seven years you've transported my true love
Seven years he's transported you know
How harsh is his place of confinement
That keeps him from his hearts delight
Cold irons and chains all around him
And a plank for his pillow at night
At night
If I had the wings of an eagle
I'd soar on my pinions so high
Slap bang to the arms of my Polly
Of my Polly
And in her soft bosom I'd lie
If e'er I returned from the ocean
It's scores of great riches I'll bring
And its all for the sake of my Polly
I'd cross the salt sea without fear
Without fear
