The Fish and the Bird

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

He will mend

Your pots and pans

Your kitchen knives he'll take and sharpen

Then I'll be gone with my travelling man

And never more your doorway darken

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
