[Verse 1]
If I was a carpenter
Mmm. and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
[Verse 2]
If I worked my hands in wood
I wonder would you still love me?
I say yes, I would
I'll put you above me
That's what I want you to say
[Bridge]
And would you save my love from loneliness?
Would you save my love from sorrow?
Well if you would Id give you my onlyness
Girl and all of my tomorrows
All of my tomorrows
Yeah
(Come on!)
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me?
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made
Walking along the highway
That long lonely highway
[Outro]
If I was a carpenter
And you were a lady
And I was just a carpenter
Instead of a rock and roll star
Just a carpenter
A carpenter
A carpenter
