Johnny Cash

If I Were a Carpenter

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:


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.
