If I Were a Carpenter
Bobby Darin Lyrics

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carryin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me?

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I'm given you my oneliness
Come give your tomorrow

If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color box
And your soft shoe shining?

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, yes I would
I'll put you above me

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?

It was like 1966 all over again when he sung this. Bobby's situation was tragic though no fault of his own. He was born with a bad ticker. He was lost far too soon but did leave a huge mark in music and movies for us to see and hear. I think the love of his life was always Sandra Dee and they are now together forever.

I am watching Bobby Darin sing If I Were A Carpenter and tears are streaming down my cheek. He was a family friend and when he would visit, we would do cabaret type songs. How sad. To me, a 10 year old boy, he showed me the art of performing and once told me that life was no different. That was sad from an entertainer who made so many happy-including me. He was an excellent entertainer and friend to me, my mother and grandmother and anyone who knew him even just long enough to see him put on a great show

Part of my goal is to get my students exploring the English language by getting them into artists they never heard of before. Most of them are into folk music from their home countries, so songs like this can really resonate with them.

Women don’t want to hear you think their beautiful or how nice their smiles are- I’ve even held up my left hand showing my wedding ring saying “ I’m happily married and I’m not hitting on you but I wanted to tell you (insert compliment) “ and they still give you that look.

Listen to that midrange in his vocals with little or no echo or reverb. Atlantic Records was still using vacuum tube equipment then. From the microphone preamps to the mixing boards - were vacuum tube drive. That, plus 4 track (probably) magnetic tape recording equals great warm sound that even comes through on digital remastering. There's just enough distortion in his vocals at times when the microphone was overdriven, but It just gives an analog recording like this great character.

Words of love that I was never able to achieve...so powerful and painful to listen to and yet so beautiful. 1:16 "Save my love through loneliness... save my love through sorrows, I've given you my onlyness - give me your tomorrows...". I won't give up on love... maybe someday - I will experience this kind of love and tenderness..... RIP Bobby - Thank you again for this gift.

Tornado1994

Darin was born with a heart defect and it was believed that he would not survive infancy. But he did. Dodd Darin says his mother mourned Bobby for the rest of her life. That she felt remorseful and guilt ridden about his tragic death. That she felt like it was her fault his health deteriorated.

You're not the only one; check the tear that Bobby is wiping away at 1:04. Because of his childhood rheumatic fever, he knew that he would not live a long life. Perhaps he was trying to express something of worth before he would leave this world, perhaps the value of living a simple and honest life.

McGuinn worked with Bobby in the early 1960s when he included a folk segment in his stage show. Later, when Bobby took a hiatus from performing, McGuinn worked for his Brill Building-era songwriting company. McGuinn has been quoted as saying that he learned about old school show business from Bobby, e.g. being on time, hitting your marks, smiling, that sort of stuff. "Vegas Lounge act" is a bit ungracious in my view. Bobby Darin was so much more than that. Everything he did, he did better than anyone else...

Such an awsome sung song. He can sing with such intensity and heart. This is one of my favorite songs. Only he can sing it with such feeling and honesty. Absolutely one of the absolute greatest entertainers of all time!
