Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
(Richie) “Johnny, Are you going to sing a song?”
(Johnny) “I’m going to sing about a little Travellin’ Man an’ it goes something like this”
Chorus
Oh I am a little travellin’ man, some people calls me Tinker Dan.
I have a great big Hi-ace van.
An’ I buy an sell all that I can.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio, will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one, no time in me life.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio, will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one, no time in me life.
Well I was rared in a horse drawn van.
Me father was a cute little man.
We used to travel near an’ far.
With a pie ball horse an’ a little spring car.
Chorus
Oh I am a little travellin’ man.
Some people calls me Tinker Dan.
I have a great big Hi-ace van.
An’ I buy an’ sell all that I can.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio, will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one no time in me life.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio, will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one, no time in me life.
(Richie) “Stay wut her Johnny, stay wut her”
Ah the places we used to camp and stay.
Are all filled up with stones and clay.
We’er toult stay going now keep away.
Sure we can’t keep going till our dying day.
Chorus
Oh I am a little travellin’ man.
Some people calls me Tinker Dan.
I have a great big Hi-ace van.
An’ I buy an’ sell all that I can.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio, will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one, no time in me life.
Will ya buy a bit a carpet an’ I’ll give it to ya chape.
Di ya want a radio will ya buy an auld tape.
Sure I never coded no one, no time in me life.
Well me brother Mickey he’s the one.
If ya want a bit a tarmacadem done.
I’m not coding ya now, he’ll do a good job.
An he’ll only charge ya, a small few bob.
Chorus
