letra de the tinker's coin - lui collins
[verse 1]
come all you lads and lassies near
a story i will tell to you
’bout a cold damp night like this
when shelter i was seeking
traveler passing through
[verse 2]
the barkeep said to guard my coin
to stay away from this tinker
but that just brought me near to him
for naught had i worth taking
traveler passing through
[verse 3]
he bought me a glass of darkened stout
to thank me for my company
and dropped a penny in the glass
for the luck that it would bring to me
a traveler passing through
[verse 4]
the poor have but their pennies left
the king his saxon shilling
the king will never part with his
i part with mine most willing
to a traveler passing through
[chorus]
this coin’s been haunted by the sidhe
’twill bring you joy or bring you grief
depending on the works you do
what once was mine now belongs to you
a traveler passing through
[verse 5]
we passed the night most forcefully
i sang my songs and his to me
we talked of life’s brief song to sing
and visions we’d forsaken
as travelers passing through
[verse 6]
the barkeep said it’s time with scorn
this man here will be your undoing
they’ll lock you up as sure as you’re born
if they hear the song you’re singing
a traveler passing through
[verse 7]
they can lock me up as best they can
yet songs can never know those chains
the song is sacred as the wind
we are just the harp that’s singing
a traveler passing through
[chorus]
this coin’s been haunted by the sidhe
’twill bring you joy or bring you grief
depending on the works you do
what once was mine now belongs to you
a traveler passing through
[verse 8]
then later in a highland pub
with friends around me singing
i chanced to glance into my glass
at another penny shining
[chorus]
this coin’s been haunted by the sidhe
’twill bring you joy or bring you grief
depending on the works you do
what once was mine now belongs to you
a traveler passing through
[outro]
thank you
