He was a swindler and a drinker
The red-haired tinker's son
With the pots and pans a'clinker, a man born on the run
From the hills of Kerry to Derry, Killarney to Du'lin
With a wheelin' and a dealin'
And a heart that was made of tin
Va Va Va I'm as free as I can be,
I'm a tinker and a traveler, you'll never burden me
A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run
If you think that you can chain us
You might as well jump at the sun
Her father was jailed for stealin'
Me mother's black as a witch
My sister ran off with the Sheridan clan
My brother's drunk in a ditch
I fastened horns to a jackass, then selled it as a cow
Take my drinkin' over thinkin'
And my wagon over the plow
Va Va Va I'm as free as I can be,
I'm a tinker and a traveler, you'll never burden me
A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run
If you think that you can chain us
You might as well jump at the sun
Va-a-a-a
Va-a-a-a
Look at her dancin' from the sunlight
Her music from the trees
Her manners from the ocean
Her schoolin' from the breeze
Every lassie is a princess
Every laddie born a king
Forever by the fireside, you'll hear the tinker sing
Va Va Va I'm as free as I can be,
I'm a tinker and a traveler, you'll never burden me
A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run
If you think that you can chain us
You might as well jump at the sun
Va-a-a-a
Va-a-a-a
Va-a-a-a
Va-a-a
You might as well jump at the sun
