jack hardy - the tinker's coin lyrics

Loading...

come all ye lads and l-sses near
a story i will tell to you
about a cold damp night like this
when shelter i was seeking
a traveler p-ssing through

the barkeep said to guard my coin
to stay away from this tinker
but that just brought me near to him
for naught had i worth taking
a traveler p-ssing through

well he bought me gl-ss of darkened stout
to thank me for my company
and he dropped a penny in the gl-ss
for the luck that it would bring to me
a traveler p-ssing through

the poor have but their pennies left
the king his saxon shilling
the king would never part with his
though i part with lime most willing
to a traveler p-ssing through

chorus:
this coin’s been haunted by the sidhe
it shall bring you joy or bring you grief
depending on the works you do
what once was mine now belongs to you
to a traveler p-ssing through

and we p-ssed the night most forcefully
i sang my songs and his to me
and we talked of life’s brief song to sing
of visions we’d forsaken
as travelers p-ssing through

and the barkeep said it’s time with scorn
your man here will be your undoing
they will lock you up as sure as you are born
if they hear the songs you’re singing
a traveler p-ssing through

well they can lock me up as best they can
yet songs can never know those chains
the song is sacred as the wind
we are just the harp that’s singing
a traveler p-ssing through

and later in a highland pub
with friends around me singing
i chanced to glance into my gl-ss
at another penny shining
a traveler p-ssing through
