If I Were A Carpenter ------  Johnny Cash

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 marry you anyway
I'd have your baby

If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you,
I'd be carrying the pots you made,
Follwin' behind you.

Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding,
Would you miss your color blouse,
And your soft shoe shining?

If you were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding,
I'd not miss your color blouse,
And my soft shoe shining?
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If i worked my hand in wood,
Would you still love me?
I's 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 onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.
