If I were a carpenter 
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
And have my baby?
 
If a tinker were my trade 
Would you still find me
Carryin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me?
 
Save my love through loneliness 
Save my love through sorrows
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows.
 
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me, babe, "Yes, I would.
I would put you above me."
 
If I were a miller ... yeah  
At a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your colored blouse
Little girl, your soft shoe shinin'?  
 
If I were a carpenter 
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
And you have my baby?
 
Would you marry me anyway 
And have my baby?
