"If I Were A Carpenter" lyrics

If I was a carpenter
Mm, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If I worked my hands in wood
I wonder would you still love me?
I say, "Yes, I would"
I'll put you above me
That's what I want you to say

And would you save my love from loneliness?
Would you save my love from sorrow?
Well, if you would I'd give you my onlyness
Girl and all of my tomorrows
All of my tomorrows
Yeah (Come on!)

If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me?
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made
Walking along the highway
That long lonely highway

If I was a carpenter
And you were a lady
And I was just a carpenter
Instead of a rock and roll star
Just a carpenter
A carpenter
A carpenter
