Текст песни If I Was A Carpenter - John Holt

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner, yes
Oh sweet, baby

If a tinker were my trade would you still find me?
Absolutely, yes I would
Come give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Well, well
Oh baby

See my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrow
I'm giving you my only-ness
Come give me your tomorrow, yes
Oh baby
Mhmm
Well, well, well

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my babies?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner

See my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrow
I'm giving you my only-ness
Come give me your tomorrow
Oh yeah, yeah
Well, well, well

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my babies?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner
Well, well

Your soft shoe shiner, oh baby
Your soft shoe shiner
