It would have been enough if God had only made me;
Gave me four strong limbs and two working eyes.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
It would have been enough if God had only saved me;
Taken His own life to save me from my lies.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
It would have been enough if God had only swung me
Up into His chariot to rest and ride till sunrise.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
It would have been enough if God had only moved me
Over from myself to others some despise.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
It would have been enough if God had only fed me
Cheese and milk and pastry and lettuce and french fries.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
It would have been enough if God had only told me
I’ll be with Him forever and can ask Him all my whys.
It would have been enough if He had only loved me,
But He also gave me Magpies.
