If I were a
carpenter an d you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway,
would you have my baby?
If I were a tinker,
would you still buy me?
Would you carry the pots
I make close up behind me?
You saved my love through loneliness
You saved my love through sorrow
I have given my only days
Now give me your tomorrow
And if I were a melon
and a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored balls
an d your soft shoe shining?
Save my love through loneliness,
save my love through sorrow
I have given my holiness,
now give me your tomorrow
And if I worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me,
would you answer me, yes I would,
I'd place you high above me
And if I were a carpenter
an d you were a
Would you marry me anyway,
or would you have my baby?
You saved my love through loneliness,
you saved my love through sorrow
I have given my holiness,
now give me your tomorrow
Save my love through loneliness,
save my love for sorrow
I have given my holiness,
now give me your tomorrow
You
