If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby? If you were a carpenter

And I were a lady

I'd you marry you anyway

I'd you have your baby If a tinker was my trade

Would you still find me?

I'd be carryin' the pots you made

Followin' behind you Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

Am giving you my loneliness

Gimme your tomorrow If I were a miller

And a mill wheel grindin'

I would miss my pretty dress

And my soft shoe shinin'? If you were a miller

At a mill wheel grindin'

I'd not miss my colored blouse

And my soft shoe shinin'? Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness

Gimme your tomorrow If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

I'd answer you, "Yes I would"

And would you not be above me? If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

I'd you marry you anyway

I'd have your baby Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness

Gimme your tomorrow
