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 carrying the pots you made

Following behind you

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your color blouse

And your soft shoe shining?

If you were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

I'd not miss my color blouse

And my soft shoe shining

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

I'd answered 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 through sorrow

I gave you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow
