the blue tar road - liam weldon lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i am a true*born irishman, a traveller am i
my home’s the road, no fixed abode, i must travel till i die
for few men give me camping sp*ce and fewer call me friend
oh the hard road for the traveller, i must travel till the end

[chorus]
hunger, hardship and poverty, are the traveller’s weary load
hunger, hardship, and poverty, and the blue tar road

[verse 2]
i came to dublin city fair, in the year of fifty*nine
and i camped in lansdowne’s green valley with others of my kind
but dublin’s corporation, good christians to a man
broke down our camp; uprooted us; dragged out our caravan

[chorus]
hunger, hardship and poverty, are the traveller’s weary load
hunger, hardship, and poverty, and the blue tar road

[verse 3]
out here in cherry orchard no cherry blossoms bloom
we’re forgotten and unwanted in dirt and muck and gloom
but the man above who died for love and nailed unto a tree
sure wasn’t he a traveller, the same as you and me
[outro]
and please god, in his own good time, he’ll lift the travellers’ load
and we’ll bid farewell to poverty, and the blue tar road
