If I Were A Carpenter – Christopher Martin

You know, the ladies wanna hear love songs like these
And I wanna give them love songs like these
Haha

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby? (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 (Soft shoe shiner)
Yeah, yeah
Oh 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?
Oh baby
Would you have my baby?

See my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrows
I’m giving you my all in this
Come give me your tomorrow
Please baby
Pretty, pretty, pretty please, baby
Oh yeah, yeah
Sweet baby, baby, baby..

And I said see my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrow

Come and give me your tomorrow, baby
Tomorrow, baby
