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 carryin' the parts you made

Followin' behind you.

BOTH:

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

DOLLY:

I'm givin' you my onliness

JOE:

Give me your tomorrows.

JOE:

If I were a miller

At a mill-wheel grindin'

DOLLY:

I wouldn't miss my pretty dress

Or my soft shoes 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 giving you my onliness

Give me your tomorrow.

DOLLY:

Mmm-hmmmm

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

DOLLY:

I'm giving you my onliness.

JOE:

Give me your tomorrow

DOLLY:

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow

JOE:

Givin' you my onliness.

BOTH:

Give me 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...
