I Wish I Was a Butterfly

(Buck Owens)



I wish, I wish, oh how I wish

I was a butterfly

I wish, I was a butterfly

Flying through the sky.



For if I was a butterfly

You'd never have made me cry

I wish, I wish, oh how I wish

I was a butterfly.



--- Instrumental ---



I wish, I was a paper kite

Flowing in the wind

For if I was a paper kite

I'd never hurt again.



I wish, I was a choo choo train

Chokin' down the track

Oh, if I was a choo choo train

I never would come back.



I wish, I wish, oh how I wish

I was a butterfly...
