Just heard a wonderful women's version of If I Were A Carpenter,retitled "Women's Lament," written and performed by Susan Lewis Wright on her album, "Down in Mexico."

Didn't find the lyrics on the Mudcat nor a quick search on google. Anyone have them?

Thanks,

kat

The album lists the following:
"Woman´s Lament (Wagoner´s Lad / If I Were President / I Never Will Marry)"

I don't see a mention of House Carpenter. Hmmm?

Maeve, If I Were a Carpenter was re-titled Woman's Lament on Wright's CD per Kat in the OP. I have days like that, too.

Most Honorable friend 999- Thanks. I see the album "Down in Mexico" both on your link and on the original reference. It is listed as:

************

1993                 by Susan Lewis Wright

Down in Mexico: Woman´s Lament (Wagoner´s Lad / If I Were President / I Never Will Marry); Runnin´ After Me; The Red Corvette Song; Sailing/Water is Wide; Down in Mexico; Rainy Afternoon; Surely, Shirley; Tomorrow Belongs to the Children; Livin´ Your Love; My Funny Valentine.
Songs written between 1989 and 1993.
*************
My day must be even worse than you think, 'cause I still don't see "House Carpenter" and yes, I understand it was said to have been re-titled. This confused brain wonders why, if "House Carpenter was re-titled "Woman's Lament, the song of that title is identified in parenthesis as a medley (Wagoner´s Lad / If I Were President / I Never Will Marry)?

Never mind. I'm going to try for sleep. Good luck finding the song, kat and Charlie. Happy hunting Treble Nine. :)
