If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow.
If I were a carpenter, if your name was Mary
Would you then marry me and bear our child?
My house would not be the palace of a great king.
I would have built it for you, alone with my hands.
Take the love I give you, you must be strong.
When our son is a man, he will have a lot to do.
If I were a carpenter , if your name was Marie
Would you then marry me and start all over again?
Take the love I give you, you must be strong.
When our son is a man , he will have a lot to do.
Take the love I give you, you must be strong.
When our son is a man, he will have a lot to do.
A lot to do.
