#8 in '66.

#1.
                                  
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,
                                 
carrin' the pots I made, followin' behind me.

CHORUS:
                                             
Save my love through loneliness, save my love for sorrow.
                                      
I'm given you my onliness, come give your tomorrow.

#2.
                                          
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
                                         
Answer me babe, "Yes I would, I'll put you above me."
                               
If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding,
                                                    
would you miss your colored blouse, and your soft shoes shining?

CHORUS:
REPEAT#1.
