If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady (ooh-ooh)
Now would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me anyway?)
Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)
If I take on a tinkers trade, would you still find me? (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, carryin' the pots I made (carryin' the pots I made)
Followin' close up behind me (followin' behind me)
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
'Cause I have given you my ownliness (ooh-ooh)
Give me part of your tomorrow
If I work my hands in wood (yes, I work my hands in wood)
Would you still love me?
Ah, answer me, baby, "Yes, I would" (yes, I would, babe, anyway)
I'd raise you high above me
If I was a miller at a mill wheel grindin'
Now would you miss your color box (would you miss your color box)
And your soft shoes shinin'? (And your soft shoes shinin'?)
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Girl, would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me anyway?)
And want you to have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady, hey
Now, would you marry me anyway?
Won't you have my baby?
