This version of “If I Were a Carpenter” is done by Alison Krauss and Dwight Yoakam. If you like to sing along, well, here are the lyrics. Basically.
“If I Were A Carpenter”
[Written by Tim Hardin]
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 made,
Following 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?
I’m not sure anyone can beat June Carter and Johnny Cash, but this one is close. Sweet Tea also has a version that I like.
Jeez I’m such a hippie.

Johnny Cash and June Carter.
I love just about all of his songs.

Yeah, they mentioned Johnny and June in the beginning. I like how simple and sweet this song is.
