If I Where a Carpenter Lyrics

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,
Carrying the pots I made,
Following behind me.

Save my love for sorrow,
Save your love for loneliness,
I'm giving you my tomorrow.
Love me only
If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would,
I'll put you above me."

If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your color box,
and your soft shoe's shining?
Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love for sorrow,
I've given you my onliness,
(Come) 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 anyway?
Would you have my baby?
