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 love me
Carrying- the pots I made
following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness
save my love for sorrow
I've given-- you my only-ness
come and 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
If I- were a miller,
at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box
your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness
save my love for sorrow
I've given-- you my only-ness
come and give me your tomorrow
If-'I--'were'a'carpenter,'
and'you'were'a'lady-'
Would'you'marry'me'anyway?'
would'you'have'my'baby?
Would'you'marry'me'anyway?'
