would you merry me anyway,

would you have my baby.

If a tinker was my trade, would you still find me,

carrying the pots I made, following behind me.

Save my heart from lonelyness

I give you my onlyness
D
come give me yours tomorrow.
If I work my hands in wood, would
you still love me,
you'd answer me, yes I would,
and would you not be above me.
If I were a miller and the millwheels grinding,
would you miss your colored clothes,
and your soft shoes shining.
Chorus
If I were a carpenter, and you
were a lady,
would you merry me anyway,
would you have my baby.
If a tinker was my trade, would you still find me,
carrying the pots I made, following behind me.
