The Thirty Foot Trailer Luke Kelly

[Verse 1]
The old ways are changing you cannot deny
The day of the traveler's over
There's nowhere to gang and there's nowhere to bide
So farewell to the life of the rover

[Verse 2]
Farewell tae the can't and the traveling tongue
Farewell tae the Romany talking
The buying, the selling, the old fortune telling
The knock on the door and the hawking

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the tent and the old caravan
To the tinker, the gypsy, the traveling man
And goodbye tae the thirty foot trailer

[Verse 3]
Farewell to the blossom and besoms of broom
Farewell tae the creels and the baskets
The folk of today would far rather pay
For a thing that is made oot o plastic

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the tent and the old caravan
To the tinker, the gypsy, the traveling man
And goodbye tae the thirty foot trailer
