If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
Now would you marry me
anyway
Would you have my baby?
If I take on a tinkers trade
Would you still find me
Or, carry the pots I've made
Following close up behind me
Send my love through loneliness
Send my love for sorrow
'Cos I have given you my all, yes
Give me a part
of your tomorrow
If I worked my hands for you
Would you still love me?
Why answer me lady
"Yes I would"
I'd place you high above me
If I were a miller
wheels grinding
Now would you miss
your colour box
Soft shoes shining
If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
Girl would you
marry me anyway
Would you have my baby?
If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
Now would you marry me
anyway.....
