lyrics

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

If a teacher were my trade
Would you still find me?
Carrying the papers I grade
Following behind me?

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrows
I gave you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows

If I were a piano man
In a night club playing
Would you watch me from the bar,
Say I was entertaining?

If I were a traveler
Playing music in a band
Would you stay with our babies?
Would I still be your man?

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