If I Were A Carpenter lyrics

If I were a carpenter

and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade,

would you still find me

carrying the pots I made

following behind me?

Save my love through loneliness,

save my love through sorrow

I give you my only-ness,

give me your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,

would you still love me?

Answer me, babe: "Yes I would,

I'd put you above me".

If a miller were my trade,

at a mill wheel grinding

would you miss your colour box,

your soft shoes shining.

Save my love through loneliness,

save my love through sorrow,

I give you my only-ness,

come give me your tomorrow.

If I were a carpenter

and you were a lady

would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?
