If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me

anyway?)

Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)

If a tinker were my trade

Would you still find me?

Oh, carryin' the pots I made (Carryin' the pots I made)

Followin' most of behind me (Followin' behind me)

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

'Cause I have given you my onliness

Come, give your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Now answer me, baby: "Yes, I would (Yes, I would, baby)

I'll place you high above me";

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Now would you miss your color box? (Would you miss your

color box?)

And your soft shoe shining? (And your soft shoe

shining)

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Girl, would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me

anyway?)

Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry anyway?

Would you have my baby?
