If I Were A Carpenter lyrics
by Henry Mancini
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
Carrin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
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, yeah
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color box
Little girl, 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?
