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 carryin' the pots you made Followin' behind you Save my love for loneliness Save my love for sorrow I've given you my onlyness Give me you're tomorrow If I were a miller Pull a mill wheel grinding Would you miss your colored blouse And your soft shoe shining? If you were a miller And a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse And my soft shoe shining Save my love for loneliness Save my love for sorrow I've given you my onlyness Give me you're tomorrow If worked my hands in wood Would you still love me? I'd answer you, yes, I would And would you not be above me? And if I were a carpenter And you were a lady I'd marry you anyway I'd have your baby Save my love for loneliness Save my love for sorrow Given you my onlyness Give me you're tomorrow I've given you my onlyness Give me you're tomorrow
