The Carpenter (木匠) - Guy Clark[00:00:00]

Let us now praise a carpenter[00:00:00]

And the things that he made[00:00:02]

And the way that he lived[00:00:05]

By the tools of his trade[00:00:07]

I can still hear his hammer[00:00:10]

Singing ten penny time[00:00:13]

Working by the hour till the day he died[00:00:16]

He was tough as a crowbar[00:00:21]

As a quick as a chisel[00:00:23]

Fair as a plane and true as a level[00:00:26]

He was straight as a chalkline[00:00:30]

And right as a rule[00:00:33]

Square with the world he[00:00:35]

Took good care of his tools[00:00:37]

Oh he worked his hands in wood[00:00:48]

From the crib to the coffing[00:00:50]

With a care and a love[00:00:53]

And you don't see too often[00:00:55]

He built boats out of wood[00:00:58]

Big boats working in a shipyard[00:01:01]

Mansions on the hill and a[00:01:04]

Birdhouse in the backyard[00:01:06]

He was tough as a crowbar[00:01:09]

He was quick as a chisel[00:01:11]

Fair as a plane true as a level[00:01:14]

He was straight as a chalkline[00:01:18]

And right as a rule[00:01:20]

Square with the world he[00:01:23]

Took good care of his tools[00:01:24]

He said anything that's worth[00:01:44]

Cuttin' down a tree for[00:01:47]

Is worth doin' right don't the[00:01:49]

Lord love a two by four[00:01:51]

They asked him how to do some[00:01:55]

He'd say just like Noah built the ark[00:01:57]

You got to hold your mouth right[00:02:00]

Son and never miss your mark[00:02:02]

To be tough as a crowbar[00:02:05]

To be quick as a chisel[00:02:08]

Fair as a plane true as a level[00:02:11]

He was straight as a chalkline[00:02:14]

And right as a rule[00:02:17]

Square with the world he[00:02:20]

Took good care of his tools[00:02:21]

He was tough as a crowbar[00:02:23]

Quick as a chisel[00:02:26]

Fair as a plane true as a level[00:02:29]

He was straight as a chalkline[00:02:32]

And right as a rule[00:02:35]

Square with the world[00:02:37]

He took good care of his tools[00:02:39]
