If I Were a Carpenter

I love the Johnny Cash and June Carter version of this song.

[ Johnny: ]
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
[ June: ]
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.

[ June & Johnny: ]
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
[ Johnny: ]
I gave you my onliness.
[ June & Johnny: ]
Give me your tomorrow.

[ Johnny: ]
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grindin',
Would you miss your colored blouse and your soft shoes shinin'?
[ June: ]
If you were a miller, at a mill wheel grindin'
I'd not miss my colored blouse and my soft shoes shinin'.

[ June & Johnny: ]
Save your love through loneliness
Save your love through sorrow
[ Johnny: ]
I gave you my onliness,
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.

[ June & Johnny: ]
Save your love through loneliness.
Save your love through sorrow.
[ Johnny: ]
I gave you my onliness.
[ June & Johnny: ]
Give me your tomorrow.
