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 for sorrow,
I'm given you my onliness,
Come give 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?
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?
With June Carter 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 for sorrow, I'm given you my onliness, Come give 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? If I were a carpenter And you were a lady, Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? Would you marry anyway? Would you have my baby? Explain Request ×
