If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Now would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me anyway?)

Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)

If I take on a tinkers trade, would you still find me?

Oh, carryin' the pots I made (Carryin' the pots I made)

Followin' closer behind me (Followin' behind me)

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

'Cause I have given you my onliness

Give me a part of your tomorrow

If I work my hands in the woods (Yes I would, babe, to keep your lovin')

Would you still love me?

Now answer me baby, yes I would (Yes I would, babe, to keep your loving)

I'd raise you high above me

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grindin'

Now would you miss your color box? (Would you miss your color box)

Soft shoes shinin' (And your soft shoe shinin')

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Girl, would you marry me any old way? (Would you marry me anyway?)

I want you to have my baby (Would you have my baby?)

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady, yeah

Now would you marry me anyway?

Won't you have my baby?
