If I Were a Carpenter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

[Verse 2]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me?

[Chorus]
Save my love for sorrow
Save my love for lonely
I've given you my tomorrow
Love me only

[Verse 3]
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me quick, "Tim, I could
I'll put you above me"

[Verse 4]
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blocks
Soft shoes shining?

[Chorus]
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow

[Verse 1]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
