Sorry, I don't know which album it was on. It isn't The Tinker which is in the DT, and I didn't seem to see a reference to it in the long list of Tinker references on the Forum search. It starts out, "It's a tinker I am, and a traveling man/I follow the wind and the stars..." and there's a line in the chorus about thanking the listeners for sharing the warmth of their fire. Thanks in advance! |

I'm a jack of all trades,and as sharp as a blade When it comes to the markets and fairs Mending 'oul pots and pans or whatever I can Not a penny I'd give for your cares BRIDGE: Now the cold winds of winter can cut like a knife And the rainchills me deep to the bone But the warm summer breezes still blow in my mind And it's them keeps me carryin' on When the cock crows at dawn,I'll be already gone Through the meadow that runs by the trees I think nothing of time,for the worls is all mine I can come and can go as I please |
