if i were a carpenter

Harry Belafonte

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
If a tinker was my trade would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me

Save my love thru loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
Iââ?¬â?¢ve given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me
Answer me babe yes I would
I put you above me
If I were a miller and a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
Your soft shoes shinning

Save my love thru loneliness
I save my love for sorrow
Iââ?¬â?¢ve given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
Iââ?¬â?¢m a carpenter, just a carpenter
Iââ?¬â?¢m a carpenter, just a carpenter
