If I Were A Carpenter

(album: Tim Hardin 2 - 1967)

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
Carrying the pots I made following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured blouse your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness come 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?
