If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
|
Would you marry me anyway?
|
Would you have my baby?
|
|
If I worked my hands in wood
|
I wonder would you still love me?
|
I say yes, I would, I'll put you above me
|
That's what I want you to say
|
|
And would you save my love from loneliness,
|
Would you save my love from sorrow, if you would
|
I give you my onlyness, girl and all of my tomorrows
|
|
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me?
|
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made,
|
Walking along the highway
|
That long lonely highway
|
|
If I was a carpenter, and you were a lady
|
And I was just a carpenter,
|
Instead of a rock and roll star
|
Just a carpenter
|
A carpenter
|
A carpenter
|
|
