The Old Changing Way Lyrics

The Old Changing Way lyrics

I'm Darby the tinker and my brother is Tam
We go where the work is, my
boys, and we work where we can
With the mending and fixing, it's together
we stay
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
We come
to your cities and we call on your wives
We'll fix up your kettles, please
dear missus, we'll sharpen your knives
And we always agreed that together
we'd stay
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
At
times they grew scanty and the money grew thin
We worked for a song but
the money it didn't come in
Now brothers are kindred but hard times
betray
And so we stumbled apart on the old changing way
We never
agreed to divide our tin
And when you're out of love with your brother,
your hard times begin
For the spikes and the brothels, they're shameful to
see
But don't you travel alone, boys, this warning you take from me
You must share with your nearest till the end of your days
Or else it's
forever you're on the old changing way
