pecker dunne - wexford lyrics

[verse 1]
my family lived in wexford town
stopped traveling and settled down
though me father kept a horse and car
oh, we lived within the town
the people there misunderstood
oh, they did not know our ways
so with horse and cart, back on the road
i began my travelling days

[verse 2]
my father was called the fiddler dunne
and i’m a fiddler too
although i often felt his fist
oh, he taught me all he knew
i know i’ll never be as good
and yet i feel no shame
for the othеr things my father taught
i am proud to bear his name

[verse 3]
hе taught me pride and how to live
though the road is hard and long
and how a man will never starve
with a banjo, fiddle or a song
and how to fight for what i own
and what i feel is right
and how to camp beside a ditch
on a stormy winter’s night
[verse 4]
oh, times were good and times were bad
and people cruel and kind
but what i learned of people then
has stayed within my mind
i’ll honour friends with all my heart
do for them all i can
but i’ve learned to go the road again
where they spurn a tinker man

[verse 5]
oh, wexford is a town i like
but a travelling man they scorn
and a man must feel affection for
the town where he was born
i know one day, that i’ll go back
when my travelling days are done
and people will begin to wonder
what has happened to the p+ck+r dunne
