Irish Traveller
By Padrig Boles
8-27-09

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller.
Is it me who is he?

I know no Gammon and I can’t do Cant
Shelta eludes me even though I wish I could

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller
Is it me who is he?

I keep greyhounds and lurchers as my friends
They eat less and don’t complain

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller
Is it me who is he?

I am called names; gypsie, gypo
Diddycoy, diddycoy, diddycoy
Names like tinker, pikey
Diddycoy,diddycoy, diddycoy
Am I a knacker or just a cream cracker?
Diddycoy, diddycoy, diddycoy

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller
Is it me who is he?

I keep moving, not knowing why
I keep moving not knowing where
I keep moving cause I don’t dare stay in one place
And become a settled Traveller

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller
Is it me who is he?

I like to fight bare knuckled
I can tell a good horse from bad
I’ll fix your roof for cheap
Just don’t ask me to stay long

I am just an Irish guy who feels like a Traveller
Is it me who is he?
Diddycoy, diddycoy, diddycoy
