If I Were a Carpenter Songtext
von Swanee

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

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would, I′d put you above me"
Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness,
Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would - I'd put you above me"


Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness,
Give me your tomorrow, Baby.

If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness
Come give me your tomorrow, Baby

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my onlyness
Come give me your tomorrow, Baby
