If I Were a Carpenter

If I Were a Carpenter - Four Tops/Frankie Gaye

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

Cause I've 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

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby
