if i were a carpenter

if i were a carpenter and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway?, would you have my baby?, if i worked my hands in wood, i wonder would you still love me?, i say yes, i would, i'll put you above me, that's what i want you to say, and would you save my love from loneliness, would you save my love from sorrow, if you would, i give you my onlyness, girl and all of my tomorrows, if a tinker were my trade, would you still find me?, carrying the pots and the pans that i made, walking along the highway, that long lonely highway, if i was a carpenter, and you were a lady, and i was just a carpenter, instead of a rock and roll star, just a carpenter, a carpenter, a carpenter
