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
Carrin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me
Save my love for sorrow
Save my love for lonely
I'm given you my tomorrow
Love me only
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
You answer me quick, "Tim, I could
I'd put you above me."
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
your soft shoes shining?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
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 find me
Carrin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me
Save my love for sorrow
Save my love for lonely
I'm given you my tomorrow
Love me only
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
You answer me quick, "Tim, I could
I'd put you above me."
If I were a miller

Would you miss your colored blouse
your soft shoes shining?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
