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
