If I Was Your Carpenter Songtext
von Four Tops

I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Now would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me anyway?)
Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)
If I take on a tinkers trade, would you still find me?
Oh, carryin′ the pots I made (carryin' the pots I made)
Followin′ closer behind me (followin' behind me)


Sing my love through loneliness
Sing my love through sorrow
'Cause I have given you my ownliness, give me part of your tomorrow
If I work my hands in wood (yes I work my hands in wood)
Would you still love me?
Ah, answer me babe, yes I would
(Yes I would babe anyway) I′d raise you high above me

If I was a miller at a mill wheel grindin′
Now would you miss your color box?
(Would you miss your color box?)
Your soft shoes shining? (And your soft shoes shining)

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? (Would you marry me anyway?)
Would you have my baby? (Would you have my baby?)

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
