Dolly Parton and Joe Nichols Lyrics
"If I Were A Carpenter"

Joe:
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

Dolly:
If you were a carpenter
And I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby

Joe:
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me

Dolly:
I'd be carrin' the pots you made
Followin' behind you

Both:
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow

Joe:
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding

Dolly:
I wouldn't miss my pretty dress
Or my soft shoe shinin'

Joe:
If i were a carpenter

Dolly:
If I were a lady

Joe:
Would you marry me anyway?

Dolly:
Yes, and I'd have your baby

Both:
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm given you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow

Joe:
If I were a carpenter
If you were a lady

Dolly:
I'd marry you anyway

Both:
I'd marry you anyway
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm givin' you my onliness
Come give your tomorrow

Dolly:
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow

Joe:
I'm givin' you my onliness

Both:
Come give your tomorrow

Joe:
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady

Dolly:
I'd marry you anyway

Joe:
Would you have my baby?

Dolly:
I'd marry you anyway
And I'd have your baby

Joe:
If I were a carpenter

Dolly:
If you were a carpenter

Both:
I'd marry you anyway......
