If I Were A Carpenter

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade

Would you still love me?

Carrying the parts I made

Following behind me?

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

I've given you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Answer me, babe, yes, I would

I'd put you above me

If a miller were my trade

At a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your colored box

Your soft shoe shining?

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

I've given you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
