Johnny Cash Lyrics

"If I Were A Carpenter" lyrics


Johnny:
If i were a carpenter
And you were a lady.
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

June:
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 pot you made
Followin behind you.

Both:
Save you're love through lonelyness
Save you're love through sorrow

Johnny:
I gave you my onlyness

Both:
Give me you're tomorrow

Johnny:
If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your colored blouse,
and your soft shoe shining?

June:
If you were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse
and my soft shoe shining

Both:
Save you're love through lonelyness
Save you're love through sorrow

Johnny:
I gave you my onlyness
Give me your tomorrow

If 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?

If i were a carpenter
And you were a lady

June:
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby

Both:
Save you're love through lonelyness
Save you're love through sorrow

Johnny:
I gave you my onlyness

Both:
Give me you're tomorrow
