If I Were a Carpenter

[Chorus] If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? [Verse] If a tinker were my trade Would you still find me? Carrying the pots I made Follow close behind me Save your love through loneliness Save my love for sorrows I've given you my oiliness Please, give me your tomorrows If I were a miller At a mill wheel grinding Would you miss your colored blouse And your soft shoes shining? If I were much poorer Than you seemed to see me, babe Could you have been sure That I could really be me? [Chorus]
