If I Were A Carpenter

Artist : Johnny Cash

Songs Title : 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 pots you made,

Followin' behind you.

Save your love through loneliness,

Save your love though sorrow,

I'd give you my onliness,

Give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding,

Would you miss your colored blouse,

And your soft shoes shining?

If you were a miller,

At mill wheel grinding,

I'd not miss my color blouse

And my soft shoes shining.

Save your love through loneliness,

Save your love though sorrow,

I'd give you my onliness,

Give me your tomorrow.

If I 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 though sorrow,

I'd give you my onliness,

Give me your tomorrow.
