[Verse 1]
C5              Gm                C5
When I gave my heart to a tinker boy
          Bb  F                  C5
He said a fish   could love a swallow
                                Gm
And I will go with my traveling man
         Bb F            C5
Wherever he goes, I will follow
        Gm                  C5
He will mend your pots and pans
             Bb   F                   c5
Your kitchen knives he'll take and sharpen
                                    Gm
Then I'll be gone with my traveling man
          Bb    F             C
And never more your doorway darken

[Verse 2]
                 Gm                C5
The fish and the bird who fall in love
             Bb  F             C5
Will find no place to build a home in
                                  Gm
The fish and the bird who fall in love
             Bb F         C5
Are bound forever to go roaming
         Bb F         C5      Bb
Bound forever to go roaming
