If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics By Four Tops

    if i were a carpenter and you were a lady
    now would you marry me anyway
    would you have my baby

    if i take on a tinkers trade
    would you still find me
    oh carryin’ the pots i made
    followin’ closer behind me

    save my love through loneliness
    save my love for sorrow
    ’cause i have given you my ownliness
    give me part of your tomorrow

    if i work my hands in wood
    would you still love me
    ah answer me babe yes i would
    i’d raise you high above me

    if i was a miller at a mill wheel grindin’
    now would you miss your color box
    and your soft shoes shining

    if i were a carpenter and you were a lady
    girl would you marry me anyway
    i want you have my baby

    if i were a carpenter and you were a lady
    now would you marry me anyway
    won’t you have my baby
