If I Were a Carpenter Songtext

von The Four Tops

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

If I take on a tinkers trade,
Would you still find me?
Carryin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me.

Save my love through lonliness
Save my love for sorrow
I gave you my ownliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If I work my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Please answer me, yes I would
I'd raise you above me

Save my love through lonliness
Save my love for sorrow
I gave you my ownliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If I was a miller,
At a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your color box?
And your soft shoes shining?

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