If I Were A Carpenter

Tim Hardin

The Basement Tapes - March/May 1967  

[If I were a carpenter]
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby?

If I was a miller
At a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your color box
And your soft shoe shinin'?

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give me your tomorrow.

If I was a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby?

If I was a carpenter
The how do love me
Yes me, babe, yes i would
I put you my ????be

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow.

If I was a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby?
