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
Follow close behind me
Save your love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrows
I gave you my only-ness
Please give me your tomorrow
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shining?
Save your love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrows
I gave you my only-ness
Please give me your tomorrow
If I were much poorer
Than you seemed to see me
Could you have been sure I...
That I could really be me?
Save your love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrows
I gave you my only-ness
Please give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
You answer me, Jack, yes I would
I'd put you above me
Save your love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrows
I gave you my only-ness
Please give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you carry my baby?
