Lyrics If I Were A Carpenter (with June Carter)[Johnny]
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
[June]
If you you were a carpenter and I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway I'd have your baby
[Johnny]
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
[June]
I'd be carrin' the pots I made
Followin' behind you
[Both]
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love though sorrow
I'd give you my oneliness
Give your tomorrow
[Johnny]
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me
[June]
I'd anwser you, yes I would
[Johnny]
And would you not be above me
[Johnny]
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color 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
[Johnny]
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
[June]
I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby |
