The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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,

Carrin' the pots I made,

Followin' behind me

Save my love through loneliness,

Save my love for sorrow,

I'm given you my onliness,

Come give your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood,

Would you still love me?

Answer me babe, "yes I would,

I'll put you above me."

If I were a miller

At a mill wheel grinding,

Would you miss your color box,

And your soft shoe shining?

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady,

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

Would you marry anyway?

Would you have my baby?
