Lyric Of The Day: “If I Were A Carpenter”
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,
Carryin’ the pots I made,
Followin’ close behind me.
Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love for sorrow,
I’m givin’ you my onliness,
Come give your tomorrow.
- Written by Tim Hardin.
