 2x
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  me?
Save  my love for loneliness,  save my love for sorrow
 I give you my onlyness,  come give me your tomorrow
If  I worked my hands  in wood,  would you still love  me?
 Answer me, babe: yes  I would,  I'd put you above  me
If  I were a miller,  at a mill wheel grinding
 Would you miss your color  box,  your soft shoes shining
If  I were a carpenter,  and you were a lady
 Would you marry me anyway?  would you have my baby?
 Would you marry me anyway?  would you have my baby?
