If I Were a Carpenter

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 meSave my love for sorrow

Save my love for lonely

I've given you my tomorrow

Love me onlyIf I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me

You answer me quick, "Tim, I could, I'd put you above me."

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your colored blouse, your soft shoes shiningSave my love for loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I've given you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow
