JP Harris and Kelsey Waldon - If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If you were a carpenter and I was a lady
I'd marry you anyway and I'd have your baby

If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you?
I'd be carryin' the pots you made
Followin' behind you

Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your color blouse
And your soft shoe shinin'?

If you were a miller
In a mill wheel grindin'
I'd not miss my color blouse
And my soft shoe shinin'

Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
I'd answered you, "Yes I would"
And would you not be above me?

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway and I'd have your baby

Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
I gave you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow
