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 married you anyway
I'd had your baby
If a tinker was my trade
would i still find you,
i'll be carry the pots you made,
followin' behind you.
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love to sorrow,
I give you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your color box,
and your soft shoe shining?
If you were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
i now miss my color box,
and my soft shoe shining
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love to sorrow,
I give you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.
If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
I'd answered you "Yes I would,"
And would you not be above me.
And would you not be above me.
If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
I married you anyway
I'd had your baby
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love to sorrow,
I give you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.
