If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

If I take on a tinkers trade

Would you still find me?

Oh, carryin' the pots I made

Followin' closer behind me

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

'Cause I have given you my onliness

Give me part of your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Now, answer me baby, "Yes I would

I'll place you high above me."

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grindin'

Now would you miss your color box

And your soft shoe shining?

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now, would you marry me anyway?

I want you to have my baby

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now, would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?
