If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics

Johnny Cash:
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

June Carter:
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.

Together:
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,

Johnny:
I'd give you my onliness,

Together:
Give me your tomorrow.


Johnny:
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding,
Would you miss your colored blouse,
And your soft shoes shining?

June:
If you were a miller,
At mill wheel grinding,
I'd not miss my color blouse
And my soft shoes shining.

Together:
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,

Johnny:
I'd give you my onliness,

Together:
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.

Together:
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love though sorrow,

Johnny:
I'd give you my onliness,

Together:
Give me your tomorrow.
