If I Were A Carpenter lyrics
by Bobby Darin



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,

Carryin' 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
