[Verse 1]
C5 Gm C5
When I gave my heart to a tinker boy
Bb F C5
He said a fish could love a swallow
Gm
And I will go with my traveling man
Bb F C5
Wherever he goes, I will follow
Gm C5
He will mend your pots and pans
Bb F c5
Your kitchen knives he'll take and sharpen
Gm
Then I'll be gone with my traveling man
Bb F C
And never more your doorway darken

[Verse 2]
Gm C5
The fish and the bird who fall in love
Bb F C5
Will find no place to build a home in
Gm
The fish and the bird who fall in love
Bb F C5
Are bound forever to go roaming
Bb F C5 Bb
Bound forever to go roaming
