If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

[ with Diane McCall ] 

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady 

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby 

If you worked your hands in wood and if you'd ask me 

I'd answer you baby yes I would I'd place you above me 

Save my love through loneliness save my love through sorrow 

I've given you my ownliness so give me your tomorrow 

[ ac.guitar - steel ] 

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding 

Would you miss your pretty clothes and your soft shoes shining 

And if a thinker were your trade you'd still find me 

I'd be carrying the pots you've made and following behind you 

Save my love through loneliness... 

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady 

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby
