If I Were a Carpenter

If I Were a Carpenter - Four Tops

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now would you marry me anyway would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby would you have my baby

If I take on a tinker's trade

Would you still find me

Oh carrin' the pots I made carrying the pots I made

Close up behind me following behind me

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

'Cause I have given you my onliness

Give me part of your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood yes

I would babe to keep your love babe

Would you still love me

Now answer me babe yes I would yes

I would babe to keep your love babe

Place you high above me

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Now would you miss your color box would you miss your color box

Your soft shoes are shining and your soft shoe shining

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby would you have my baby

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry anyway

Would you have my baby
