Johnny Cash
Woodcarver (2023 Re-Cut)
[Verse 1: Sandy Kelly]
Woodcarver, carve me the house of my dreams
Carve me a valley, make me a stream
That runs through the mountains and under the trees
Woodcarver, do this for me

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
Well, I can carve you a house out of oak, out of pine
Make you a castle that sits on the Rhine
Even a cottage that no one can find
With a sun that forever will shine

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly]
But I can't make it real for you
It's only as real as the wood that I use
I can't make your dreams come true
That's something you'll have to do (Ooh)

[Verse 3: Sandy Kelly]
Woodcarvеr, carve me the lovе I can't find
Make him gentle, tender, and kind
Carve him a heart that will always be mine
Woodcarver, take your time

[Verse 4: Johnny Cash]
I can carve you a knight or a cowboy in jeans
Maybe a sailor coming home from the sea
As hard as the oak or as soft as the pine
Just like the man you can't find
[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly, Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly]
But I can't make it real for you
It's only as real as the wood that I use
I can't make your dreams come true
That's something you'll have to do (Ooh)

[Verse 5: Sandy Kelly]
Woodcarver, do you mind if I watch?
Your hands are so smooth and your chisel so sharp
I promise that I will not get in your way
Woodcarver, please let me stay

[Verse 6: Johnny Cash]
Well, I can carve you your house, I can carve you your man
But I can give you much more with these wood-carving hands
You won't be a bother if you wanna stay
Do you know what I'm trying to say?

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly, Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly]
I could make it real for you
I'm as real as the wood that I use
I could make your dreams come true
There's nothing more you'd have to do
Oh, woodcarver make it come true

[Outro: Sandy Kelly & Johnny Cash]
Woodcarver, carve me the house of my dreams
Carve me a valley, make me a stream
That runs through the mountains and under the trees
Woodcarver, do this for me (Alright)
