Grandpa Was a Carpenter Lyrics – John Prine
Singer: John Prine
Title: Grandpa Was a Carpenter
Grandpa wore his suit to dinner
Nearly every day
No particular reason
He just dressed that way
Brown necktie and a matching vest
And both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on our back porch
And put a penny in a burned-out fuse
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower
‘Cause Lincoln won the war
Well, he used to sing me “Blood on the Saddle”
And rock me on his knee
And let me listen to the radio
Before we got TV
Well, he’d drive to church on Sunday
And he’d take me with him too
Stained glass in every window
Hearing aid in every pew
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower
‘Cause Lincoln won the war
Now my grandma was a teacher
Went to school in Bowling Green
Traded in a milking cow
For a Singer sewing machine
Well, he called her husband “Mister”
And she walked real tall in pride
And used to buy me comic books
After Grandpa died
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower
‘Cause Lincoln won the war

Grandpa Was a Carpenter – Terjemahan / Translation
Kakek mengenakan jasnya untuk makan malam
Hampir setiap hari
Tidak ada alasan khusus
Dia baru saja berpakaian seperti itu
Dasi coklat dan rompi yang serasi
Dan kedua sepatu sayapnya
Dia membangun lemari di teras belakang kami
Dan menaruh satu sen di sekering yang terbakar
Kakek adalah seorang tukang kayu
Dia membangun toko dan bank rumah
Rokok unta rantai rantai
Dan kuku yang dipalu di papan
Dia level di level
Dan bahkan mencukur setiap pintu
Dan memilih Eisenhower
Karena Lincoln memenangkan perang
Nah, dia biasa menyanyikan saya “Blood on the Saddle”
Dan mengguncangku di lututnya
Dan izinkan saya mendengarkan radio
Sebelum kami mendapat TV
Nah, dia akan pergi ke gereja pada hari Minggu
Dan dia juga akan membawaku bersamanya
Kaca patri di setiap jendela
Alat bantu dengar di setiap bangku
Kakek adalah seorang tukang kayu
Dia membangun toko dan bank rumah
Rokok unta rantai rantai
Dan kuku yang dipalu di papan
Dia level di level
Dan bahkan mencukur setiap pintu
Dan memilih Eisenhower
Karena Lincoln memenangkan perang
Sekarang nenek saya adalah seorang guru
Pergi ke sekolah di bowling green
Diperdagangkan dengan sapi perah
Untuk mesin jahit penyanyi
Yah, dia memanggil suaminya “tuan”
Dan dia berjalan sangat tinggi dengan bangga
Dan biasa membelikan saya buku komik
Setelah Kakek meninggal
Kakek adalah seorang tukang kayu
Dia membangun toko dan bank rumah
Rokok unta rantai rantai
Dan kuku yang dipalu di papan
Dia level di level
Dan bahkan mencukur setiap pintu
Dan memilih Eisenhower
Karena Lincoln memenangkan perang
