Would you have my baby? D C G D If a tinker were my trade would you still love me? D C G D Carrying the pots I made following behind me. (Chorus) C D G D Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow, D C G D I'm given you my ownliness, Come give your tomorrow. (Verse 2) D C G D If I worked my hands in wood, Would you still love me? D C G D Answer me babe, "Yes I would, I'll put you above me." D C G D If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding, D C G D would you miss your colored box, your soft shoe shining? (Chorus) C D G D Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow, D C G D I'm given you my ownliness, Come give your tomorrow. (Verse 3) D C G D If I.. were a carpenter and you were a lady, D C G D would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby? D C G D would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
