If I Were A Carpenter lyrics

Song information

Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: Sunday Morning Coming Down

Lyrics

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
