lyrics

THE TINSMITHS

Tinsmiths would come once a year
To my Granny's when I was a child
Traveling the length and breadth of the island
Horses and carts gone for miles

And they'd sit 'round the table for an ol' cup of tea
And chat about days gone by
Before a tip of the cap was made
And a cheeky ol' wink of an eye

The Bean an Tí would chat to the girls
As the men went to work on the farm
I saw nothing but mutual respect
And a gift of some good luck charms

And they'd sit 'round the table for an ol' cup of tea
And chat about days gone by
Before a tip of the cap was made
And a cheeky ol' wink of an eye

And after the day was done
And the tinsmiths had fixed all the wares
My Granny would gift them food for the road
And blessings for new thoroughfares

And they'd sit 'round the table for an ol' cup of tea
And chat about days gone by
Before a tip of the cap was made
And a cheeky ol' wink of an eye

The family came and went in a day
My Granny so kind to them all
Especially the lady with basket and beads
And a prayer for one and for all.

And they'd sit 'round the table for an ol' cup of tea
And chat about days gone by
Before a tip of the cap was made
And a cheeky ol' wink of an eye
And a smile.
