Old Western Song "If God meant for man to fly..." Humorous
Boy howdy, I am beyond my friggin wit's end. Lets see what y'all can muster:
It's a pretty old western song (or at least composed itself as such). It was generally humorously themed because it was about that old adage "If God had wanted man to fly, he would've gave us wings"
But where the song gets funny, is each subsequent verse is making fun of the previous. Like 'If God had wanted man to fly he would've gave us wings, be happy you have trains' next verse 'If God had wanted man to ride train, he would've gave us rails, be happy you have cars' and so on.
Those examples are probably not lyrics, but that's the jist. I know for certain it moves on to trains at one point. And of course down to walking, too.
Good luck and TYIA, you might be helpin' a gent find his currently-lost mind!
