Here is my cover of “Bachelor Boy” by Cliff Richard and the Shadows.
I am playing it on my Squier Special Stratocaster, and my Fender 50’s Series, through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones, preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

The Song
“Bachelor Boy” is a song by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, written by Richard and Bruce Welch (from the Shadows). It became a hit when it was released as the B-side of Richard’s single “The Next Time”. Both sides of the single were regarded as having chart potential so both sides were promoted and in many markets “Bachelor Boy” became the bigger hit. The single spent three weeks at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1963 and was a major hit internationally, although it only reached No. 99 in the US. Both sides of the single were included on the accompanying soundtrack album Summer Holiday. On the soundtrack album the Michael Sammes Singers were credited as backing singers, although they were not credited on the single.
Lyrics
When I was young, my father said
“Son, I have something to say”
And what he told me, I’ll never forget
Until my dyin’ day
He said, “Son, you are a bachelor boy
And that’s the way to stay
Son, you be a bachelor boy
Until your dyin’ day”
When I was sixteen, I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time
What my daddy said to me
He said, “Son you are a bachelor boy
And that’s the way to stay
Son, you be a bachelor boy
Until your dyin’ day”
As time goes by I probably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I’ll get married, have a wife and a child
And they’ll be my turtle doves
But until then I’ll be a bachelor boy
And that’s the way I’ll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin’ day
But until then, I’ll be a bachelor boy
And that’s the way I’ll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin’ day
