Lyrics
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 were my trade
Would you still find me?
I'll be carryin' the pots you made
Followin' behind you
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love to sorrow
I'm givin' you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grindin'
I wouldn't miss my pretty dress
And my soft shoe shining
If I were a carpenter
If I were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Yes, and I'd have your baby
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love to sorrow
I'm givin' you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd marry you anyway
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love to sorrow
I'm givin' you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love to sorrow
Givin' you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
Would you have my baby?
I'd marry you anyway
And I'd have your baby
If I were a carpenter
If you were a carpenter
I'd marry you anyway.
