I'm A Free Born Man Of The Traveling People (Live) - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

I am a freeborn man of the traveling people

Got no fixed abode with nomads I have wandered

Country lanes and by-ways were always my ways

I never fancied being lumbered

Oh we knew the woods and the resting places

And the small birds sang when winter days were over

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

Those were good old days for a rover

There was open ground where a man could linger

For a week or 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 it easy

And I've cursed the life when winter days were dawning

But I've laughed and sung through the whole night long

Seen the summer sun rise in the morning

All you freeborn men of the traveling people

Every tinker rolling stone
