Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Travellin People,
| G | C | D |
Im | a freeborn man of the | travelling | people, |
| G |
Got no fixed abode with nomads I am | numbered, |
| D | G | C | G |
Country | lanes and by | ways were always | my | ways, |
| C | G | C | F | G |
I | neve | r fancied | being | lum | bered. |
Oh we knew the woods and the resting places,
And a small bird sang when winter days were over
Then we'd pack our loads and be on the road,
Thoes were good old days for there over.
There was open ground where a man could linger,
For a week og two for time was not our master,
Then away you'd jog with your horse and dog,
Nice and easy no need to go faster.
Now I've known life hard and I've known life easy,
And I've coursed this life when winter days were dawning,
But I've laughed and sung through the whole night long,
Seen the summer sunrise in the morning.
All you freeborn men of the travelling people,
Every tinker,rolling stone and gypsy rover,
Winds of change are blowing,old ways are going,
Your travelling days will soon be over.
