If You Were A Carpenter

If you were a carpenter

And I were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were your trade

Would you still find me

Carrying the pots you made

Following behind me?

See my love through loneliness

See my love for sorrow

I've given you my onlyness

Come give me your tomorrow

If you worked your hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Answer me, Yes I would

I'd put you above me

And if you were a miller

Had a mill-wheel grinding

Would you see it written on my face?

I'm here for the finding

See my love through loneliness

See my love for sorrow

I've given you my onlyness

Come give me your tomorrow

If you were a carpenter

And I were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?
