Verse 
               Gm                   C 
When I gave my heart to a tinker boy 

          Bb  F                  C 
He said a fish   could love a swallow 

                                Gm 
And I will go with my traveling man 

         Bb F            C 
Wherever he goes, I will follow 

        Gm                  C 
He will mend your pots and pans 

             Bb   F                   C 
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

The fish and the bird who fall in love 

             Bb  F                 C 
Will find no place to build a home in 

                                  Gm 
The fish and the bird who fall in love 
             Bb F         C 
Are bound forever to go roaming

Bound forever to go roaming
