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

If a tinker were my trade 
would you still find me
carrin' the pots I made 
followin' behind me

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me? 
Answer me babe, "Yes I would 
I'll put you above me" 

If I were a miller 
at a mill wheel grinding
would you miss your color box
and your soft shoe shining? 

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