Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Travelling Man
Well I'll put on me walkin' boots and be on the road in the mornin'
I'll spend a week in County Cork so give the girls fair warnin'
I'm a Travelling Man I'm a drinkin' man I'm gentle when I'm sober
Well I've a wife in Donegal and I've a wife in Kerry
tomorrow I marry a girl from Cork a lovely bit called Mary
I'm a Travelling Man I'm a drinkin' man I'm gentle when I'm sober
Well I'll put on my velvet suit and I'll comb back my hair
I go to parties when I'm sure the whiskey will be there
I'm a Travelling Man I'm a drinkin' man I'm gentle when I'm sober
Well I've a wife in Belfast Town another in Killarney
I can't remember her first name but her brother's name is Barney
I'm a Travelling Man I'm a drinkin' man I'm gentle when I'm sober
Well I'll put on my suit of rags and dust upon my head
I'll beg for money to buy me tay and a barn shall be my bed
I'm a Travelling Man I'm a drinkin' man I'm gentle when I'm sober
