Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tinker's Wedding / Tinklers' Waddin'
Subject: Lyr Add: TINKER'S WEDDING
Does anyone know this? I heard it on an old Belle Stewart tape, but somehow I have the feeling someone must have published a disk with this song in it. The tune is the same as "The Day We Went to Rothesay," which is on DT. But "Tinker's Wedding" has a more traditional sound, as if "Rothesay" might be a parody of an older song. I have only this one verse:

TINKER'S WEDDING


Traditional

Chorus:
A darum a dium a dum a day,
A darum a dium a daddy oh,
A darum a dium a dum a day,
Hurrah for the tinker's weddin' oh!


Tattie bannocks they were made,
Thick with butter they were spread.
On the table they were laid,
tae carry on the weddin' oh!

Chorus.
