the mary wallopers - wexford lyrics

[verse 1]
my family lived in wexford town
stopped travelling and settled down
me father kept a horse and car
though we lived within the town
the people there misunderstood
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
now i’m a fiddler too
although i often felt his fist
he taught me all he knew
i know i’ll never be as good
and yet i feel no shame
for the other things my father taught
i am proud to bear his name

[verse 3]
he 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 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 from people then
has stayed within my mind
i’ll honour friends with all my heart
do for them all i can
but i learnt to go the road again
where they scorn the traveler man

[verse 5]
wexford is a town i like
but the travelling man is scorned
but you must feel affection for
the town that you come frim
i know one day, that i’ll go back
when my travelling days are done
and people will begin to wonder
what ever happened to the p+ck+r dunne
