If I Were a Carpenter Lyrics by Jim Cathcart

Fireside Songs

0

[Verse 1]
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?
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me
[Chorus]
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow
[Verse 2]
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 color blouse
And your soft shoe shining?
[Chorus]
Savе my love through loneliness
Savе my love from sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow
