JOHNNY CASH lyrics : "If I Were A Carpenter"

[Written by Tim Hardin]

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.


Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love for sorrow,
I'm given you my onliness,

Come give your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,

Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would,
I'll put you above me."


If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,

would you miss your color box,
and your soft shoe shining?


If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?
