Lyrics

If I were a carpenter
Writer tim hardin

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, carrin' the pots I made, followin' behind me. save my love through loneliness, save my love for sorrow, I'm given you my onliness, come give your tomorrow. if I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me? answer me babe, "yes I would, I'll put you above me." if I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding, would you miss your color box, and your soft shoe shining? if I were a carpenter and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby? would you marry anyway? would you have my baby?
