The Free Design
If I Were a Carpenter
[Verse 1]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

[Verse 2]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still love me
Carryin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me?

[Chorus]
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow

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

[Verse 4]
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your color box
Your soft shoe shined?
[Chorus]
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow
Save my love through loneliness
Court my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness (Would you marry me anyway?)
Would you give me your tomorrow? (Would you have my baby?)
Save my love through loneliness
Court my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness (Would you marry me anyway?)
Would you give me your tomorrow? (Would you have my baby?)
