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 a tinker were my trade, would you still find me

Carryin' the pots I made, followin' behind me?

Save my love for sorrow, save my love for lonely

I've given you my tomorrow, love me only

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?

You answer me quick, "Tim I could

How could you above me"

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grindin'

Would you miss your colored blocks

Soft shoes are shinin'

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I've given 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?
