I Am A Free Born Man - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

作词：E Maccoll

作曲：E Maccoll

I am a freeborn man of the traveling people

Got no fixed abode with nomads I am numbered

Country lanes and byways were always my ways

I never fancied being lumbered

O we knew the woods all the resting places

And the small birds sang when wintertime was over

Then we'd pack our load and be on the road

They were good old times for the rover

There was open ground where a man could linger

Stay a week or two for time was not your master

Then away you'd jog with your horse and dog

Nice and easy no need to go faster

All you freeborn men of the traveling people

Every tinker rolling stone or gypsy rover

Winds of change are blowing old ways are going

Your traveling days will soon be over
