If I Were A Carpenter - Johnny Cash

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby

If you were a carpenter

And I were a lady

I marry you anyway

I have your baby

If a tinker were my trade

Would I still find you

I'll be Carrying the pots you made

Following behind you

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I'll give you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your color gloves

And your soft shoe shining

If you were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

I'm no missing my color gloves

And my soft shoe shining

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I'll give you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me

I answer you Yes I would

And would you not be above me

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

I marry you anyway

I have your baby

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I'll give you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow
