If I were a carpenter   and you were a lady
D		   C	   G                   D
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

Answer me babe, "Yes, I would,   and I'll put you above me"

Would you miss your colored blouse    and your soft shoes shining
