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?
