Harry Belafonte If I Were a Carpenter song lyrics

If I were a carpenter you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby

If a thinker were my trade would you still find me

Carrying the pots I made following behind me

Save my love through loneliness save my love for sorrow

Giving you my ownliness come come give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood would you still love me

Answer me babe yes I would I'd put you above me

If you were a miller at a mill wheel grinding

Would you miss my colored blouse and your soft shoes shining

[ harmonica ]

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby

Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby
