"If I Were A Carpenter" lyrics
(originally by Tim Hardin)
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
Carrying the pots I made - following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my onliness - give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would - I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse - your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - come give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
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 through sorrow
I give you my onliness - give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would - I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse - your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - come give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
