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 sorrow - save my love for lonely
I give you my tomorrow - love me only
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
Save my love for loneliness save my love for sorrow
I ve given you my only ness you ve given me your tomorrow
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?
