If I Were A Carpenter
Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash: If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
June Carter: If you were a carpenter
And I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
Johnny: If a tinker was my trade
Would I still find you?
June: I'd be carryin' the pots you made
Followin' behind you
Together: Save your love through loneliness
Save your love though sorrow
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness
Together: Give me your tomorrow
Johnny: If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shining?
June: If you were a miller
At mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my color blouse
And my soft shoes shining
Together: Save your love through loneliness
Save your love though sorrow
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness
Together: Give me your tomorrow
Johnny: If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
June: I'd answer you, "Yes I would."
Johnny: And would you not be above me?
Johnny: If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
June: I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby
Together: Save your love through loneliness
Save your love though sorrow
Johnny: I'd give you my onliness
Together: Give me your tomorrow
