Tim Hardin
If I Were a Carpenter (Live in Concert version)
[Verse 1]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
[Verse 2]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still love me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me?
[Verse 3]
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me quickly, "Tim, I could
I'll put you above me"
[Chorus]
Save my love from loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given up my onlyness
Love me tomorrow
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
Your soft shoes a-shining?
[Chorus]
Savе my love for sorrow
Save my love for only
I'vе given you my tomorrow
Love me only
[Verse 1]
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
[Outro]
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
