Johnny Connors - Christy Moore[00:00:00]
My name is Johnny Connors I am a traveling man[00:00:14]
My people have been traveling[00:00:21]
Since time it first began[00:00:24]
With my horse and covered wagon[00:00:28]
And my family by my side[00:00:32]
Grazing the long acre[00:00:35]
I traveled far and wide[00:00:39]
I met Bridie Maughan my sweet wife[00:00:42]
On a fair day in Rathkeale[00:00:47]
She was the finest traveling girl[00:00:50]
That ever wore a shawl[00:00:55]
We worked the tin around Galway on up to Ballinasloe[00:01:00]
For a traveler with a horse to sell[00:01:07]
It was the place to go[00:01:10]
We sold the old linoleum[00:01:14]
Swapped carpets for old pine[00:01:17]
But as the years passed on[00:01:21]
The traveling life got harder all the time[00:01:23]
Where have all the halting places gone[00:01:28]
All them friendly doors[00:01:33]
Where we'd haul spring water[00:01:36]
From the well and sell paper flowers[00:01:38]
Now it's guards and jailers[00:01:45]
And JCB's to roll big boulders in[00:01:47]
Temporary dwellings are prohibited[00:01:53]
Innocent little traveling children lost out on them streets[00:02:00]
Sons and Daughters on the wine[00:02:07]
And lying round me feet[00:02:10]
As they try to dull the hurt and pain[00:02:13]
The rejection that's imposed[00:02:18]
Travelers are not wanted here[00:02:21]
But there's no place left to go[00:02:26]
My name is Johnny Connors I am a traveling man[00:02:31]
I've taken everything that's been thrown at me[00:02:37]
Now I'm going to take a stand[00:02:41]
