If I Were a Carpenter - Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

If you were a carpenter

And I were a lady

I’d marry you anyway

I’d have your baby

If a tinker was my trade

Would I still find you?

I’d be carryin' the pots you made

Followin' behind you

Save my love for loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I’ve given you my onlyness

Give me you’re tomorrow

If I were a miller

Pull a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss your colored blouse

And your soft shoe shining?

If you were a miller

And a mill wheel grinding

I’d not miss my colored blouse

And my soft shoe shining

Save my love for loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I’ve given you my onlyness

Give me you’re tomorrow

If worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

I’d answer you, yes, I would

And would you not be above me?

And if I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

I’d marry you anyway

I’d have your baby

Save my love for loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

Given you my onlyness

Give me you’re tomorrow

I’ve given you my onlyness

Give me you’re tomorrow
