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
