If I knew where the wild dove flew   I would not tell the hunter, but I would tell you   Though they say you're not a brave man, hardly a man at all   You would not shoot the wild things, like brave men in the fall   Mmmm mm      If I knew where calypso bloomed,   I would not tell the ladies, but I would tell you   For you would not take the flower, for money or for love   Or harm a single petal, 'cause you would not shoot the dove   Mmmm mm      If I knew where our green love grew   I would not tell the others, but I would tell you   For 'though the world may call you craven, I know it is not true   And 'though a sword may hang between us, my songs THROUGH all for you   Mmmm mm
