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 love me?
Carrying the pots I made,
following behind me
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows
If I were a miller, baby,
at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored 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?
and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway,
would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade,
would you still love me?
Carrying the pots I made,
following behind me
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows
If I were a miller, baby,
at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored 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?
