Johnny Cash - If I Were A Carpenter lyrics

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'd you marry you anyway

I'd you have your baby

If a tinker was my trade

Would I still find you?

I'd be carryin' the pots you made

Followin' behind you

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness

Gimme your tomorrow

If I were a miller

And a mill wheel grindin'

Would you miss your colored blouse

And your soft shoe shinin'?]

If you were a miller

At a mill wheel grindin'

I'd not miss my colored blouse

And my soft shoe shinin'?

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness

Gimme your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

I'd answer you, "Yes I would"

And would you not be above me?

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

I'd you marry you anyway

I'd have your baby

Save your love through loneliness

Save your love through sorrow

I gave you my onlyness

Gimme your tomorrow
