If i were a carpenter

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 find me,
carrin' the pots i made,
followin' behind me.
save my love through loneliness,
save my love for sorrow,
i'm given you my onliness,
come give your tomorrow.
if i worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me?
answer me babe, "yes i would,
i'll put you above me."
if i were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your color box,
and your soft shoe shining?
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?
