The Dubliners - Tramps and Hawkers lyrics
[The Dubliners - Tramps and Hawkers lyrics]
Oh, come all ye tramps and hawker
Lads and gaitherers o' blaw
That tramps this country round and round
Come listen ane and a'
I'll tell to ye a rovin' tale
And sights that I hae seen
It's far intae the snowy north
And sooth by Gretna Green
Oft times I've laughed intae myself
When trudgin' on the road
My toerags around my blistered feet
My face as brown's a toad
Wi' lumps o' cake and tattie scones
Wi' whangs of Braxy Ham
No gi'en a thought frae where I've come
An' less tae where I'm go'n'
I've done my share of humpin' wi'
The dockers on the Clyde
I've helped the Buckie trawlers pu'
The herrin' o'er the side
I've helped to build the michty bridge
That spans the busy Forth
And wi' money Angus farmer's trig
I've plooed the bonny earth
I'm happy in the summer time
Beneath the bright blue sky
No thinkin' in the mornin' where at
Night I'll hae to lie
In barn or byre or anywhere
Dossin' oot among the hay
And if the weather treats me right
I'm happy every day
Lads and gaitherers o' blaw
That tramps this country round and round
Come listen ane and a'
I'll tell to ye a rovin' tale
And sights that I hae seen
It's far intae the snowy north
And sooth by Gretna Green
Oft times I've laughed intae myself
When trudgin' on the road
My toerags around my blistered feet
My face as brown's a toad
Wi' lumps o' cake and tattie scones
Wi' whangs of Braxy Ham
No gi'en a thought frae where I've come
An' less tae where I'm go'n'
I've done my share of humpin' wi'
The dockers on the Clyde
I've helped the Buckie trawlers pu'
The herrin' o'er the side
I've helped to build the michty bridge
That spans the busy Forth
And wi' money Angus farmer's trig
I've plooed the bonny earth
I'm happy in the summer time
Beneath the bright blue sky
No thinkin' in the mornin' where at
Night I'll hae to lie
In barn or byre or anywhere
Dossin' oot among the hay
And if the weather treats me right
I'm happy every day
