If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics

Words & Music: 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,

 

 carrin' the pots I made,

 

 followin' 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?
