The Four Tops - If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter & 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 tinkers trade, would you still find me?
Oh carryin' the pots I made (carryin' the pots I made)
Followin' closer behind me (followin' behind me)

(Save my love through) lonliness (save my love for sorrow)
Cause I have given you my ownliness, give me part of your tomorrow

If I work my hands in wood (yes I work my hands in wood)
Would you still love me?
Ah, answer me babe, yes I would
(Yes I would babe anyway)
I'd raise you high above me

If I was a miller at a mill wheel grindin'
Now would you miss your color box?
(would you miss your color box)
& your soft shoes shining? (& your soft shoes shining)
If I were a carpenter & you were a lady
Girl, would you marry me anyway? (would you marry me anyway)
Want you have my baby? (would you have my baby)

If I were a carpenter & you were a lady
Now would you marry me anyway
Won't you have my baby?
