If I were a carpenter,
and you were a Lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a take on a tinker's trade,
would you still find me
Carryin' the parts I made,
followin' close up behind me?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
Cause I have given you my only-ness
Give me part of your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me?
Answer me babe.'Yes I would,
I'd put you high above me.'
If were a miller,
at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color-box,
and your soft shoes shining?
If I were a carpenter,
and you were a Lady
Girl, Would you marry me any ol'way?
Would you have my baby?
If I were a carpenter,
and you were a Lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
