If I Were a Carpenter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? [Verse 2] If a tinker were my trade Would you still find me Carryin' the pots I made Followin' behind me? [Bridge] Save my love through loneliness Save my love for sorrow I'm given you my onliness Come give your tomorrow [Verse 3] If I worked my hands in wood Would you still love me? Answer me, babe, "Yes, I would I'll put you above me" [Verse 4] If I were a miller At a mill wheel grinding Would you miss your color box Your soft shoe shinin'? [Verse 1] If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? [Outro] Would you marry anyway? Would you have my baby?
