Tramps and Hawkers (Live)

Tramps And Hawkers - The Dubliners

Written by：Traditional/Ronnie Drew

Oh come all ye tramps and hawker lads and gatherers oblaw

That tramps the country round and round come listen ane and all

I'll tell to ye a rovin' tale of sights that I have seen

It's far intae the snowy north and south by gretna green

Oftimes I've laughed untae mysel' when trudgin' on the road

My toerags round my blistered feet my face as broon 's a toad

Wi' lumps o' cake and tattie scones wi' whangs o' braxie ham

Nae gi'en a thought frae where I've been an' less tae whaur I'm gan

I've done my share o' humpin' wi' the dockers on the clyde

I've helpit buckie trawlers haul their herrin's o'er the side

I've helped tae build them michty bridge that spans the busy forth

Wi' money an angus farmer's trig I've ploo'ed the bonnie earth

I'm happy in the summer time beneath the bricht blue sky

No thinkin' in the mornin' whaur at nicht I'll hae tae lie

In barn or byre or anywhere dossin' oot among the hay

An' if the weather treats me right I'm happy every day
