IF I WERE
Words and Music by Tim Hardin
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
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 LOVE ME?
CARRYING THE POTS I MADE,
FOLLOWING BEHIND ME,
SAVE MY LOVE THROUGH LONELINESS,
SAVE MY LOVE FOR SORROW,
I’VE GIVEN YOU MY OWNLINESS,
COME AND GIVE ME YOUR TOMORROW,
IF I WORKED MY HANDS IN WOOD,
WOULD YOU STILL LOVE ME?
ANSWER ME, BABE, “YES I WOULD,
I’D PUT YOU ABOVE ME.”,
IF I WERE A MILLER
AT A MILL WHEEL GRINDING,
WOULD YOU MISS YOUR COLORED BOX,
YOUR SOFT SHOES SHINING?
SAVE MY LOVE THROUGH LONELINESS,
SAVE MY LOVE FOR SORROW,
I’VE GIVEN YOU MY OWNLINESS,
COME AND GIVE ME YOUR TOMORROW.
A CARPENTER
