If I Were a Carpenter
Four Tops

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Now, would you marry me anyway (would you marry me anyway?)

Would you have my baby? (would you have my baby?)

If I take on a tinker's trade

Would you still find me

Oh, carrin' the pots I made (carrying the pots I made)

Close up behind me? (following behind me)

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

'Cause I have given you my onliness

Give me part of your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood (yes I would, babe, to keep your love, babe)

Would you still love me?

Now answer me babe, yes, I would (yes I would, babe, to keep your love, babe)

Place you high above me

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding

Now, would you miss your color box (would you miss your color box?)

Your soft shoes are shining (and your soft shoe shining?)

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway (would you marry me anyway?)

Would you have my baby? (would you have my baby?)

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry anyway

Would you have my baby?
