The Jolly Tinker - The Clancy Brothers

As I went down a shady lane at a door

I chanced to knock

Have you any pots or kettles with rusty holes to block

Well indeed I have don't you know I have

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I have

The misses came out to the door

And she asked me to come in

You're welcome jolly tinker and

I hope you brought your tin

Well indeed I did don't you know I did

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I did

She took me through the kitchen and

She led me through the hall

And the servants cried the devil has

He come to block us all

Well indeed I have don't you know I have

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I have

She took me up the stairs me lads to

Show me what to do

Then she fell on the feathery bed and

I fell on it too

Well indeed I did don't you know I did

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I did

She then took out a frying pan and

She began to knock

For to let the servants know me lads that

I was at my work

Well indeed I was don't you know I was

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I was

She put her hand into her pocket and

She pulled out twenty pounds

Take that my jolly tinker and we'll have another round

Well indeed we will don't you know we will

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed we will

Well I've been a jolly tinker now

For these forty years or more

But such a rusty hole that I never block before

Well indeed I didn't don't you know I didn't

To me right fol ooral addy well indeed I didn't
