Dolly Parton - If I Had Wings Lyrics






If I had wings
I'd fly away from all-a my troubles
All-a my pain
And I would fly to a place of comfort
Heaven knows I need a change
If I had wings, Lord give me wings

Oh, I've had my share of sorrow
Walked a long and lonesome road
I could use a new tomorrow
If I had wings, I'd make it so
One cannot predict the future
One cannot undo the past
But we can make the present useful
Build a future that will last

If I had wings
I'd fly away from all-a my troubles
All-a my woes
And I would fly 'til I found freedom
If I bad wings, I'd up and go
If I had wings, Lord give me wings
(Oh-oh, mm-mm, oh-oh)

If I had wings
I'd fly away from all-a my troubles
All-a my woes
And I would fly 'til I found freedom
If I had wings, I'd up and go
If I had wings, Lord give me wings

(If I had wings) Oh, if I had wings
(If I had wings) Oh, Lord just give me wings
(If I had wings) If I had wings I'd make a change
If I had wings, if I had wings
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
If I had wings, if I had wings

    BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!

  20. C.... P....

    Ho scoperto un genere che non ascoltavo (ammetto solo per pregiudizio) grazie alla nuova serie Netflix.
    Lei ha una voce bellissima

  21. H.... A....

    This melody of this song cuts into my heart and drains tears from my soul... you could say “a bop”

  22. p.... ....

    I seriously thought this was Dolly doing Gordon Lightfoot's song "The Way I Feel". But similar but different.

  23. l.... ....

    Wonderful ! Thxs

  24. C.... S....

    looking for the chords to ,if i had wings

    C.... S....

    Look for the chords to Aayfaring Stranger. That is the melody, and I think it is public domain.

    C.... S....

    "Wayfaring Stranger"

    C.... S....

    American folk/gospel song from the early 19th century. Author unknown. SO good!

  25. D.... G....

    Wonderful series, better than expected! And a new favorite Dolly song :-)

  26. P.... J....

    This song is AWESOME!!!!!

  27. K.... H....

    My favorite Dolly song

  28. T.... C....

    Dolly happy thanks giving

  29. M.... S....

    Thank you God for Dolly.

  30. T.... D....

    Discovered this song through her series, Heartstrings, oh my Lord! This song spoke deep to my soul, seriously! If I had wings... oooh 😭😭😭😭

  31. C.... M....

    This sound very similar to Wayfaring Stranger

    C.... M....

    Yes it does,

    C.... M....

    Same chords, almost identical chord structure.

  32. P.... R....

    Wow, this episode. 💔💔

  33. M.... H....

    Amazing

  34. M.... F....

    esse ep foi o melhor

    M.... F....

    Todos são ótimos, amei essa musica desde que assisti esse episódio....

  35. S.... S....

    Ok...did whoever wrote Man of Constant Sorrow " borrow" this melody from Dolly or what??

    S.... S....

    I think she borrowed from Wayfaring Stranger

    S.... S....

    @Cuck Mangione that's what I was thinking. I can hear it in the beginning

    S.... S....

    @Cuck Mangione Yep...think you're right. They're all just plagiarizing all over the place, lol.

    S.... S....

    I was thinking it sounded alot like man of constant sorrow too!! Another one of my favourites

  36. J.... E....

    Dolly's new series call Heartstrings is touching as well as entertaining. I am discovering her music all over again and songs I never heard like if I had wings. Great song.

    J.... E....

    I loved all of those stories, I hope she has a 2nd season

    J.... E....

    Can some one tell me please Where I can watch her episodes?

    J.... E....

    Ella Horkey Netflix. The show is called Heartstrings.

    J.... E....

    I agree . It's really a good series .

    J.... E....

    Me too 😍❤️

  37. C.... L....

    This is exactly how I feel !

  38. a.... m....

    Wow she kept your face straight for 4 minutes

  39. T.... H....

    3rd episode!!!

  40. P.... V....

    I love it ❤️❤️❤️

  41. T.... c....

    I was hesistant in the beginning of the series but when I watch Jolene it was an emotional rollercoster for me because of how much I can relate to both emily and Jolene(each had their insecurity Emily's was about her marraige and herself and Jolene's was about fear of failure that stopped her from moving to Dallas to pursue her dreams). Than I watched the second episode and k was blown away once again but this time even more so because this was about family and family is a touchy subject for me. Mom passed away when i was 13yo, my bio father left when i was very young and he was toxic and so was my momma but she loved us so I stayed with her instead of going with father. This song just makes me feel like the lyrics (lord just give me wings, if i had wings I'd up and go, if i had wings.)

  42. N.... W....

    Let pain and suffering be a thing of the past...let our light shine, our weary hearts have peace, and let us remember our dear Lord has us no matter what. Let me have wings...NO more pain and suffering 🙏🏽🌻♥️

  43. A.... V....

    Dolly is like a fine wine, the older she is the better the flavor.

  44. L.... O....

    God what a song. Just squeezes your heart tight

  45. R.... B....

    This woman is amazing dolly is a talent. God knew what he was doing when he gave dolly an amazing gift. Please make more of heartstrings.

  46. J.... F....

    Love the chord progression, that fiddle and banjo, and of course the soul-filled voice of miss Dolly Parton. Sounds like an old spiritual throughout. Thank you Dolly and Heartstrings for this song.

  47. M.... D....

    Beautiful song.💕🦋💕

  48. C.... S....

    Wow, that episode was emotional... love you dolly 💕

    C.... S....

    @ladybell08 ⁰0

    C.... S....

    I cried like a baby. Ugly cried

    C.... S....

    I cried so much during that episode

    C.... S....

    Courtney Summer and Cracker Jack

    C.... S....

    Abigail Bray loved these old bones

  49. S.... C....

    Wow to that episode... Delta and Gerald deserve Emmy nods...

    S.... C....

  50. D.... F....

    Heard this gorgeous song a couple times recently on bluesman Danny Marks' show on Jazz FM out of Toronto. It is now my favourite Dolly track. Makes me think back fondly to Dan Fogelberg's High Country Snows bluegrass album, too...

  57. R.... H....

    C.... G....

    Clément Gaume OH MY GOD FUCKING SHITLER IS ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL TIME IN ANY GENRE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MUSIC EVER EXISTING. HE HAS BEEN POP SINCE HE STARTED HIS CAREER IN 2006. HE HAS HAD ZERO NONE ABSOLUTELY ZILCH TALENT SINCE HE WAS BORN. SHITLER WAS BORN AND RAISED AS A DAMN CITY SLICKER. HE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO LIVE THE COUNTRY LIFESTYLE IF HE WAS ASKED TO DO IT FOR A DAY. AND IF HE WAS ASKED HE WOULD SAY NO. DOLLY REBECCA PARTON IS ONE OF THE KINDEST (UNLIKE THAT MEAN CLASSLESS BITCH SHITLER) MOST HUMBLE NICEST PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH. SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED SOUTHERN IN SEVIERVILLE TENNESSEE. SHE HAS BEEN INSANELY COUNTRY AND INSANELY TALENTED SINCE SHE RECORDED HER FIRST SONG OF HER CAREER. SHE MAY OF HAD A FEW THINGS GO TO THE POP SIDE BUT AT LEAST SHE WASN'T LIKE SHITLER WHO WAS A POP STAR BEING PLAYED ON COUNTRY STATIONS. DOLLY WAS THE OPPOSITE JUST LIKE SHE IS THE OPPOSITE OF SHITLER IN ANY OTHER WAY. IF DOLLY HAD A FEW SONGS GO TO POP WHICH I THINK SHE DID SHE WAS A COUNTRY STAR WITH COUNTRY SONGS BEING PLAYED ON POP RADIO. IF I WAS FACE TO FACE WITH YOU AND SAW YOU TYPE THAT FILTH OF A COMMENT I WOULD BEAT YOUR ASS SO BAD YOU WOULDN'T SEE STRAIGHT. HOW THE FUCKING HELL DOES A LITTLE PUNK ASS BITCH WHO HAS BEEN SHITTY AND WHO HAS HAD NOTHING BUT A FULL BLOWN POP CAREER SINCE HE STARTED IN 2006 AND COULD NEVER COME CLOSE TO SOUNDING COUNTRY IF HE TRIED COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ONE OF THE MOST COUNTRY SOUNDING ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. ONE OF THE BEST ICONIC SINGERS OF ALL TIME (SHITLER DON'T EVEN SING. HE SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF HIS THOUSANDS OF FUCKING CATS DYING EVERY DAMN TIME HIS MOUTH OPENS). YOU LITERALLY JUST DISRESPECTED THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF DOLLY REBECCA PARTON. THE ONLY THING I SAW IN YOUR COMMENT WAS SHITLER'S NAME. THAT RIGHT THERE LITERALLY MADE ME GET SICK. AND I MEAN LITERALLY GET SICK. MY HUSBAND HAD TO GET A TRASH CAN. DO NOT EVER COMPARE THIS CLASSY ICONIC COUNTRY QUEEN TO THAT LITTLE PUNK ASS IMMATURE CLASSLESS BITCH SHITLER SWIFT AGAIN. GET THE HELL OFF HERW BITCH. YOU BITCH NEED A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF THERAPY FOR COMPARING SUCH FILTH TO THIS INCREDIBLE COUNTRY STAR. WHY THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TO DISRESPECT DOLLY SO MUCH????? YOU HATE HER. THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS. AND IT'S OBVIOUS BECAUSE IF YOU RESPECTED THIS QUEEN YOU WOULD OF NEVER LET SHITLER'S NAME SHOW UP IN YOUR COMMENTS. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (I ALSO HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND FIVE YEAR OLD SON BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT LOOKING UP TO FAMOUS PEOPLE AS ROLE MODELS). MY THREE YEAR OLD DOES NOT EVE KNOW A SINGLE PERSON FROM THE RECENT POP GENRE. WHERE I LIVE IN TENNESSEE THERE ARE ABOUT SIX COUNTRY STATIONS THAT PICK UP AND SOME SHITTY FUCKED UP RAP STATION. NO STATION OVER HERE PLAYS ANY OF SHITLER'S SHITS. SO MY THREE YEAR OLD OR ANY OF MY OTHER KIDS WILL EVER HEAR OF ANY MORE RECENT POP STAR. I KNOW NAMES AND KNOW LITTLE BIT ABOUT MORE RECENT POP STARS ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM MY KIDS. MY KIDS WILL ONLY HEAR OF MOST THE POP STARS FROM THE 1980s-2005. 2006 IS WHEN POP GOT SHITTY THANKS TO THE INTRODUCTION OF SHILTER SWIFT'S ANOREXIC TRANSSEXUAL ASS. FROM 2006-FROM HERE ON OUT POP WILL NEVER BE WORTH LISTENING TO AGAIN OTHER THAN NEWER STUFF FROM MOST POP STARS WHO CAME OUT FROM BEFORE 2006. HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH HATES TOWARDS DOLLY TO DISRESPECT HER SO MUCH BY COMPARING HER TO SUCH A PATHETIC NO TALENT SACK OF SHIT???? YOU SAID YOURSELF YOU WERE A SHITLER SWIFT FAN SO WHY THE HELL DID YOU CLICK ON THIS AUDIO????? YOU LIKE SHITLER NOT DOLLY. GET YOUR ASS OFF HERE. IF HAD ANY SINGLE BIT OF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF RESPECT FOR DOLLY YOU WOULD OF NEVER PUT SHITLER'S NAME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE ICONIC TALENTED CLASSY LEGEND DOLLY PARTON. PATHETIC IS BARELY A START TO DESCRIBING HOW SORRY YOU ARE. BYE BITCH. I AM FINISHED

  71. D.... V....

    I use to hate country music.. But this song reach everybodody.. And that joleene song

    D.... V....

    If you have Netflix. Watch Dolly Partons "Heart Strings" two shows are about this song and Jolene. Just watched them today. Awesome and heartfelt. Mini movies. Jolene is first. Julianna Hough and Brad Paisleys wife, and Dolly star.

  72. M.... C....

    The song If I had wings is new words to the traditional "wayfareing stranger" or is just what I hear.

    M.... C....

    Dead on balls accurate

    M.... C....

    I thought it was wayfaring stranger too when it started, but the lyrics were different

    M.... C....

    Still love it though❤

    M.... C....

    Could very well be. The melody also sounds like a dead lift of Mark Knopfler's "Fare Thee Well, Northumberland" too. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-cA_Znry2k

  73. J.... K....

    Love, love, love, love, love, love it!  The more I listen, the more I love.  Dolly keeps it real!

  74. w.... ....

    Heard this on the radio at work one day and almost cried :') Dolly still has one of the best voices in the world.

  75. J.... N....

    Sorry, * * * * * * * * * *  it is, or even hundreds of them!

  76. v.... t....

    p.... s....

    pattycakes smith THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE BEST SHE HAS DONE IN A LONG TIME. I AM ONLY 24 AND HAVE HEARD TOO MANY SONGS OF HER'S TO COUNT. I HAVE SEVERAL CDS OF HER (PROBABLY SIX CDS INCLUDING BLUE SMOKE THE ONE SHOWN IN THE AUDIO PICTURE) SO I HAVE STILL PROBABLY NOT HEARD HALF OF HER STUFF. ANYTHING THAT HAS EVER COME OUT OF HER MOUTH HER ENTIRE CAREER IS EASILY AS EQUALLY HER BEST AS ANY OTHER SONG. WHY IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT

  80. t.... ....

    i love dolly and love love love bluegrass. it reminds me of my grandma who was from the same part of tennesssee that miss dolly is from.

    t.... ....

    blue grass? its blue smoke
