If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

[undeterred]

What the hell does that mean? Why would a lady not marry a carpenter? Wasn't JESUS a carpenter?

1. I always took it as more of a nobility/working class type thing. However, that

was just idle speculation as a child. I haven't heard it in ages.

7. It always seemed to imply to me that she WASN'T a lady

Which never seemed very nice. I believe the original words were "If I was a carpenter instead of an unemployed drunk and you were a lady instead of a skanky slut, would you marry me and have my baby?" They shortened it later. O8)

10. Well, that's reading between the lines!

But I never really did get the "if you were a lady" part, so maybe you're right.

15. It could be a lady carpenter singing to a man

who she wishes were a lady. That's it!
