If I were a carpenter

and you were a lady

Now would you marry me

anyway

Would you have my baby?

If I take on a tinkers trade

Would you still find me

Or, carry the pots I've made

Following close up behind me

Send my love through loneliness

Send my love for sorrow

'Cos I have given you my all, yes

Give me a part

of your tomorrow

If I worked my hands for you

Would you still love me?

Why answer me lady

"Yes I would"

I'd place you high above me

If I were a miller

wheels grinding

Now would you miss

your colour box

Soft shoes shining

If I were a carpenter

and you were a lady

Girl would you

marry me anyway

Would you have my baby?

If I were a carpenter

and you were a lady

Now would you marry me

anyway.....
