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 babyIf a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you
I'd be carrying the pots you made
Following behind you
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrowIf I were a miller
And a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shining?If you were a miller
And a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse
And my soft shoes shiningSave your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrowIf I worked my hands on wood
Would you still love me?
I'd answer you yes I would
And would you not be above me?If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your babySave your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
