If I Were a Carpenter

If I Were a Carpenter - The Shaggs

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

Would you carrying the pots I made

Following behind me

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I'm given you my loneliness

Give me your tomorrow

I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me

Answer me girl yes I would

I'll put you above me

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Then you grind color box

And soft your shoe shining

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I'm given you my loneliness

Give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby
