lyrics

Tinkers Tartan

My girl’s pale as pale can be
Eyes of grey like the cold north sea
And she always looks so fine to me
Wearing tinkers tartan

She loves the north wind in her hair
A morning frost in the autumn air
And when her arms and legs are bare
She’ll be wearing tinkers tartan

CH: She hides away from the summer sun
When the heats turned up she turns and runs
And the most I’ve ever seen her tan
Is a shade of tinkers tartan

She's got hair like a fairy queen
She's the prettiest thing I ever seen
She's a bonny lass in anything
But braw in tinkers tartan

A winter sunrise in her skin
With a hint of morning blue and pink
She's warm as wool and soft as silk
She’ll be wearing tinkers tartan

She wears the colours of her clan
All dressed in tinkers tartan
And I know that I’m a lucky man
When she's wearing tinker’s tartan
