Sheryl Crow & Willie Nelson - If I Were A Carpenter lyrics

rate me

If I were a carpenter<br />

And you were a lady<br />

Would you marry me anyway?<br />

Would you have my baby?<br />

<br />

If you were a carpenter<br />

And I were a lady<br />

I'd marry you anyway<br />

I'd have your baby<br />

<br />

If a tinker was my trade<br />

Would I still find you?<br />

I'd be carryin’ the pots you made<br />

Followin’ behind you<br />

<br />

Save my love for loneliness<br />

Save my love for sorrow<br />

I’ve given you my onlyness<br />

Give me you're tomorrow<br />

<br />

If I were a miller<br />

Pull a mill wheel grinding<br />

Would you miss your colored blouse<br />

And your soft shoe shining?<br />

<br />

If you were a miller<br />

And a mill wheel grinding<br />

I'd not miss my colored blouse<br />

And my soft shoe shining<br />

<br />

Save my love for loneliness<br />

Save my love for sorrow<br />

I’ve given you my onlyness<br />

Give me you're tomorrow<br />

<br />

If worked my hands in wood<br />

Would you still love me?<br />

I'd answer you, yes, I would<br />

And would you not be above me?<br />

<br />

And if I were a carpenter<br />

And you were a lady<br />

I'd marry you anyway<br />

I'd have your baby<br />

<br />

Save my love for loneliness<br />

Save my love for sorrow<br />

Given you my onlyness<br />

Give me you're tomorrow<br />

<br />

I've given you my onlyness<br />

Give me you're tomorrow
