If I Were a Carpenter

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

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

Johnny
If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you?

June
I'd be carrying the pot you made
Following behind you

Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow

Johnny
I gave you my onliness

Both
Give me your tomorrow

Johnny
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured blouse
And your soft shoe shining?

June
If you were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my coloured blouse
And my soft shoe shining

Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow

Johnny
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?

June
I'd answer you: Yes I would

Johnny
And would you not be above me?

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady

June
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby

Both
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow

Johnny
I gave you my onliness

Both
Give me your tomorrow
