If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady 

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby 

If a thinker was my trade would you still find me 

Carrying the pots I made following behind me 

Save my love through loneliness save my love through sorrow 

I've given you my ownliness come and give me your tomorrow 

[ ac.guitar ] 

If I worked my hands in wood would you still love me 

Answer babe yes I would I would put you above me 

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding 

Would you see it and know my face I'm here for the finding 

Now if I were a carpenter and you were a lady 

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby 

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby
