Misc Traditional — Tramps And Hawkers

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

The lyrics are (more or less unchanged) taken from:
http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/irish-folk-music/irish%20songs/Tramps%20and%20Hawkers.htm

The Chords fit the version I like to play, of this song. (I'm most inspired by the Corries-version,
but also by the Dubliners) I usually play it with capo somewhere around the 3rd fret.




       G                Am     G                      C
O come a´ ye tramps and hawker-lads an´ gaitherers o´ bla´
     G                 Em        G                          Em
That tramp the country roun´ and roun´, come listen one and a´
     G             Em     G                          Em
I´ll tell tae ye a rovin´ tale, o´ sights that I hae seen
    G    G7     Am    G                  C      G
Far up into the snowy north, or sooth by Gretna Green.



     G                 Am  G                    C
I´ve seen the high Ben Nevis a-towerin´ tae the moon
          G                   Em    G                     Em
I´ve been roun´ by Crieff an´ Callander an roun´ by Bonny Doon
     G                Em      G                       Em
I´ve seen Loch Ness's silvery tide an´ places ill tae ken
    G    G7     Am     G                    C     G
Far up into the stormy north lies Urquart´s fairy glen



   G             Am    G                          C
Ofttimes I laugh tae mysel´ as I wander alang the road
   G                Em        G                          Em
My toerags round my blistered feet, my face as broun´s a toad
    G                  Em     G                          Em
Wi´ lumps o´cheese and tattie-scones or breid an´ braxie ham
    G        G7        Am     G                 C        G
Nae thinking whar´ I´m comin´ frae nor thinkin´ whar I´m gang.



     G                Am      G                      C
I've done my share of humpin' wi' the dockers on the Clyde
     G                 Em       G                         Em
I've helped the Buckie trawlers hawl the herrin' o'er the side
     G                   Em     G                              Em
I've helped to build the mighty bridge that spans the Firth o' Forth
        G    G7    Am       G                   C     G
And wi' mony Angus farmer's rig I've plowed the bonny earth



    G            Am     G                          C
I´m happy in the summer-time beneath the dark blue sky
    G               Em      G                          Em
Nae thinkin´ in the mornin´ where at nicht i´m gang to lie
   G               Em  G                          Em
In barn or byre or anywhere dossing out among the hay
    G      G7      Am        G                 C     G
And if the weather treats me right, I´m  happy every day.



     G                Am  G                            C
Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond, they´ve oft been seen by me
    G                 Em  G                         Em
The Dee, the Don, the Devron, that a´ flows tae the sea
   G             Em     G                    Em
Dunrobin Castle, by the way, I nearly had forgot
         G       G7       Am         G                   C       G
And the reckless stanes o´cairn that mairks the hoose o´ John o´ Groat.



     G             Am   G                         C
I´ve been by bonny Gallowa´, an´ often roun´ Stranraer
   G                 Em  G                       Em
My business leads me anywhere, I travel near an´ far
     G               Em  G                     Em
I´ve got that rovin´ notion I wouldna like tae loss
     G       G7    Am  G              C      G
For It´s my daily fare an´ as much´ll pay my doss.



  G                   Am      G                      C
I think I´ll gang tae Paddy´s Lan´, I´m makin´ up my mind
    G                  Em      G                      Em
For Scotland´s greatly altered noo, I canna raise the wind
    G               Em    G                       Em
But I will trust in Providence, and Providence be true
     G    G7     Am     G                C       G
I´ll sing ye´ o´ Erin´s Isle when I come back to you.
