Can I put a timer on a basic gas water heater?

I have a gas water heater that doesn't use electricity. It works by having
a
bare copper wire conduct temperature out of the water tank into the
thermostat. The same way some air conditioner works. It also uses a manual
pilot light (you have to light the pilot light manually if the gas was
turned off and on).
Is it possible to add a timer to this kind of water heater?
Yep.
I did it once and it cost (at that time) more money than you could have
possible saved over the life of the tank.
