If I Were A Carpenter
By Johnny Cash
Below are the lyrics for the song If I Were A Carpenter as well as an acoustic demo version on how I play this song.
Tim Hardin wrote this song and it became a top 10 hit for Bobby Darin back in 1966. To say the song has been covered by a few artists is putting it mildly because more than 50 have covered this song, including Led Zepplin, Dolly Parton, Dan Fogelberg and more. The Johnny and June version was recorded and released in 1970.

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
Carrying the pots I'd made ... following behind me
Save my love through loneliness ... save my love for sorrows
I've given you my onliness ... give me your tomorrows
If I were a miller .. at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse ... and your soft shoe shining
Save my love through loneliness ... save my love for sorrows
I've given you my onliness ... give me your tomorrows
BREAK
Save my love through loneliness ... save my love for sorrows
I've given you my onliness ... give me your tomorrows
If a tinker were my trade ... would you still find me
Carrying the pots I'd made ... following behind me
If I worked my hands in wood .. would you still love me
Answer me babe say yes I would ... I'll put you above me
Save my love through loneliness ... save my love for sorrows
I've given you my onliness ... give me your tomorrows
If I were a carpinter ... and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway ... would you have my baby
