If I Were a Carpenter
Johnny
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
June
If you were a carpenter
And I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
Johnny
If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you?
June
I'd be carrying the pot you made
Following behind you
Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
Johnny
I gave you my onliness
Both
Give me your tomorrow
Johnny
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured blouse
And your soft shoe shining?
June
If you were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my coloured blouse
And my soft shoe shining
Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
Johnny
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
June
I'd answer you: Yes I would
Johnny
And would you not be above me?
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
June
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
Johnny
I gave you my onliness
Both
Give me your tomorrow
