If I Were a Carpenter Lyrics

[00:12.28] If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
[00:20.58]
[00:23.36] Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby
[00:31.18]
[00:33.55] If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
[00:43.63] Carrying the pots I made, following behind me
[00:51.09]
[00:57.04] Save my love for sorrow
[01:01.26]
[01:52.70] Save my love for lonely
[01:56.11]
[02:02.78] I've given you my tomorrow
[02:10.15] Love me only
[02:58.83]
[03:16.49] If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me
[03:23.80]
[03:27.53] You answer me quick,
[03:28.88] "Tim, I could, I'd put you above me.
[03:33.01] If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding
[03:35.46] Would you miss your colored blouse, your soft shoes shining
[03:37.55] Save my love for loneliness
[03:41.26] Save my love for sorrow
[03:44.97]
[03:47.42] I've given you my onliness
[03:51.65] Give me your tomorrow
[03:55.24]
[04:06.53] If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
[04:14.74]
[04:17.32] Would you marry me anyway, could you have my baby
[04:23.47]
