Johnny Cash; If I were a Carpenter
~~~~New Lyrics~~~~
If I Were A Nuclear Scientist
If I were a Nuclear scientist
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
And have my radioactive baby?
If a tinker of Nuclear Atoms were my trade
Would you still love me
Carryin' the Isotopes I made
Followin' radioactively behind me?
Save my love from scientific loneliness
Save my love through sorrows
I've given you my contaminated onliness
Give me your cancer tomorrows.
If I worked my hands in Plutonium
Would you still hug me?
Answer me, babe, "Yes, I would.
I would radiate you above me."
If I were a recycler… yeah...
At a Nuclear wheel rod grindin'
Would you ware a radioactive blouse
Little girl, with your soft shoes glowin'?
If we are Cesium contaminated
And you are a dying lady
Should we get married anyway
And have a deformed baby?
Save our love in isolated loneliness
Save our love through deaths sorrows
I've given you my radioactive onliness
Hoping we have some tomorrows.
~Gasser Classic~
