If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,
would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?
If you were a carpenter, and I were a lady,
I would marry you anyway, I would have your baby.

If a tinker was my trade, would I still find you?
I would be carrying the pots you made, following behind you

Save your love through loneliness,
save your love through sorrow.
I gave you my loneliness,
give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse, and your soft shoe shining?
If you were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
I would not miss my colored blouse, and my soft shoe shining.

Save your love through loneliness,
save your love through sorrow.
I gave you my loneliness, (both) give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
I would answer you “yes I would”.
And would you not be above me?

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,
I would marry you anyway, I would have your baby.

Save your love through loneliness,
save your love through sorrow.
I gave you my loneliness,
give me your tomorrow
