If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?

If you were a carpenter and I were a lady

I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby

If a tinker was my trade, would I still find you?

I'd be carryin' the pot you made, followin' behind you

Save your love through loneliness, save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness, give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your colored blouse and your soft shoe shinin'?

If you were a miller at a mill wheel grinding

I'd not miss my colored blouse and my soft shoe shinin'

Save your love through loneliness, save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onliness, give me your tomorrow

If worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?

I'd answer you, "Yes, I would", and would you not be above me?

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby

Save your love through loneliness, save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onliness, give me your tomorrow
