Harry Belafonte - If I Were A Carpenter lyrics

If I were a carpenter And you are a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? If a tinker were my trade Would you still find 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 Come and give me your tomorrow If I worked my hands in wood Would you still love me? Answer me babe, "Yes, I would I'll put you above me" If I were a miller At a mill wheel grinding Would you miss your color box And your soft shoe shining? Save my love through loneliness I'll save my love for sorrow I've given you my onliness Come and give me your tomorrow If I were a carpenter And you are a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? I'm a carpenter, just a carpenter I'm a carpenter, just a carpenter I'm a carpenter, just a carpenter
