[Verse 1]
When I gave my heart to a tinker boy
He said a fish could love a swallow
And I will go with my travelling man
Wherever he goes I will follow

[Verse 2]
He will mend your pots and pans
Your kitchen knives he’ll take and sharpen
And I’ll be gone with my travelling man
And never more your doorway darken

[Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

[Verse 3]
The fish and the bird who fall in love
Will find no place to build a home in
The fish and the bird who fall in love
Are bound forever to go roaming
Bound forever to go roaming

[Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
