If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter, 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
Carryin' the pots I made, followin' behind me?

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands at wood
Oh, would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes, I would, I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your glory-box, oh your soft shoes shining

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness
Come give me your tomorrow

I give you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow

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 my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? Marry me?
Would you have my baby? Ah-ah-ah
