I'm a freeborn man of the travelling people
Got no fixed abode with nomads we are numbered
Country lanes and bye ways were always my ways
I never fancied being lumbered

Well we knew the woods and the resting places
And the small birds sang when winter days were over
Then we'd pack our load and be on the road
Those were good old times for a rover

There was open ground where a man could linger
Stay a week or two for time was not our master
Then away we'd jog with our horse and dog
Nice and easy no need to go faster

All you freeborn men of the travelling people
Every tinker rolling stone and gypsy rover
Winds of change are blowing old ways are going
Your travelling days will soon be over

I'm a freeborn man of the travelling people
Got no fixed abode with nomads we are numbered
Country lanes and bye ways were always my ways
I never fancied being lumbered
