If I Were A Carpenter

IF I WERE A CARPENTER - Johnny Rivers

Se eu fosse carpinteiro

(T. Hardin) ' 1972

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've given you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Answer me, baby, yes, I would

I'd put you above me

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss that pretty dress

And those soft shoes shinin'?

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

I've given you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Tell me, baby, yes, I would

I'd put you above me

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 that baby?
