[Chorus]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

[Verse 1]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me

[Verse 2]
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my loneliness
Come give your tomorrow

[Verse 3]
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would
I'll put you above me"

[Verse 4]
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color box
And your soft shoe shining?
[Chorus]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?
