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'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby
If a tinker was my trade, would I still find you?
I'd be carrying the pots you made, following behind you
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse and your soft shoe shining?
If you were a miller at a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse and my soft shoe shining
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
I'd answer you, "Yes, I would," and would you not be above me?
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
