Doc Watson & Richard Watson - If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics

Doc Watson & Richard Watson Lyrics

"If I Were A Carpenter"

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blocks
And soft shoes and shining?

Save my love from loneliness
Save my love from sorrow
I've given you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow

If I were a tinker
Would you come and find me
Could you carry the things I'd made
And follow behind me?

Or if I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Could you answer me, "Yes, I would"?
Or would you be above me?

Save my love from loneliness
Save my love from sorrow
I've given you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
I've given you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow
