Song For A Carpenter Lyrics - Dan Fogelberg

Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter 

He works his hands in wood 

And he lives the way his granddad 

Might have liked and understood 

He goes to work each morning 

And he comes home every night 

And the time that passes in between 

He knows has been spent right 

A child in South Ohio 

A man in Northern Maine 

He took his dream 

To the end of the world 

And he brought it home again

Here he met his sweet Rebeckah 

Here he came to make his stand 

In a house he built in the piney woods 

Where the ocean meets the land 

And it's hey-ho, steady as you go 

Sing for the love of the land 

Hey-ho, blessed is the home 

Born of the carpenter's hand 

Oh, his hair is rough and curly 

And his legs they reach the ground 

And his eyes are full of living 

And his back is broad and brown 

And his heart is sure and stubborn 

And his pride's too strong to bend 

And somewhere in his life 

He found the time to be my friend

Hey-ho, blessed is the home 

Born of the carpenter's hand 

Oh, he loves his sweet Rebeckah 

He'll love her 'til his death 

And she gave to him a bonny son 

And they named the child Seth 

And now they are a family 

A community of three 

Living in the piney woods 

Where the soil meets the sea 

And it's hey-ho, steady as you go 

Sing for the love of the land 

Hey-ho, blessed is the home 

Born of the carpenter's hand 

Born of the carpenter's hand
