Christy Moore – Johnny Connors / King Puck

My name is Johnny Connors, I am a travelling man My people have been travelling since time it first began With my horse and covered wagon And my family by my side Grazing the long acre, I travelled far and wide I met Bridie Maughan my sweet wife On a fair day in Rathkeale She was the finest travelling girl that ever wore a shawl. We worked the tin around Galway On up to Ballinasloe For a traveller with a horse to sell It was the place to go We sold the old linoleum, swapped carpets for old pine But as the years passed on, the travelling life Got harder all the time. Where have all the halting places gone All them friendly doors Where we’d haul spring water from the well And sell paper flowers Now its guards and jailers and JCB’s To roll big boulders in Temporary dwellings are prohibited Innocent little travelling children Lost out on them streets Sons and daughters on the wine and lying ’round me feet As they try to dull the hurt and pain The rejection that’s imposed Travellers are not wanted here But there’s no place left to go. My name is Johnny Connors I am a travelling man I’ve taken everything that’s been thrown at me, Now I’m going to take a stand. King Puck album (1993)
