Carpenter - John Holt

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby

If I were a miller and the mill should grind me

Would you miss your lover man

Your soft shoe shiner yes

Oh sweet baby

If a tinker were my trade would you still find me

Absolutely yes I would

Come give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby

Well well

Oh baby

See my love through loneliness

See my love through sorrow

I'm giving you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow yes

Oh baby

Mhmm mhmm hmm

Well well well

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my babies

If I were a miller and the mill should grind me

Would you miss your lover man

Your soft shoe shiner

See my love through loneliness

See my love through sorrow

I'm giving you my onliness

Come give me your tomorrow

Oh yeah yeah

Well well well

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my babies

If I were a miller and the mill should grind me

Would you miss your lover man

Your soft shoe shiner

Well well

Your soft shoe shiner oh baby

Your soft shoe shiner
