Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash - If I Were A Carpenter
If I Were A Carpenter
by Johnny Cash & June Carter
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 marry you anyway,
I'd have your baby.
If a tinker was my trade,
Would I still find you?
I'd be carrying the pot you made,
following behind you.
Save your love through lonliness,
Save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.
If I were a miller,
and I milled wheel grindin,
Would you miss your colored blouse,
and your soft shoe shinin?
If you were a miller,
and wheel grindin,
I'd not miss my colored blouse,
and my soft shoe shining.
Save your love through lonliness,
Save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
Give me 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 marry you anyway,
I'd have your baby.
Save your love through lonliness,
save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
give me your tomorrow.Source: Teen Spirit
