Lyrics

Nancy was a tinker girl
Who roamed the country roads and I
Will tell you how she came to be a legend in her time
And the reason that I've come to know
Well, a tinker told me so
Who better then to pass to me the tale of Nancy Miles?
Nancy's father, Tinker Dan
He was a poor but honest man
Drove a horse-drawn caravan all through the Emerald Isle
When Nancy was no more a child
Dan, he didn't have to toil
Men would come from far and wide to pay for Nancy Miles
There's pretty girls in magazines
Movie stars and beauty queens
Nancy was the prettiest girl a man could ever see
And the gleam of love in her eyes
When she looked at you and smiled
Would make you feel that you were just the man she longed to see
Before the age of twenty-one
A hundred men had come and gone
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her eyes
Any man who loved her then
Never was the same again
His memory was haunted by the thought of Nancy Miles
In every town and village too
The fame of Nancy grew and grew
Soon her name was spoken at many's a campfire site
And in band that showed one horse per day
When tinkermen would have their say
Many's a fight was fought to win the court of Nancy Miles
Sure I hope that you don't get me wrong
Nancy was the sweetest one
Heart so full of kindness and as charming as her smile
She was known throughout the land
The queen of all the tinker clan
Was the dream of every man to marry Nancy Miles
Before the age of thirty-one
A thousand men had come and gone
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her eyes
Any man who loved her then
Never was the same again
His memory was haunted by the thought of Nancy Miles
Then there came the saddest day
When Nancy's father passed away
The loss, it grieved her dearly and her heart was filled with pain
Family, friends, and courtin' men
Never saw her smile again
A change had taken place within the heart of Nancy Miles
Before the age of forty-one
Nancy, she had come and gone
They searched the country over
Not a trace of her could find
Nancy's memory will live on
As long as tinkermen are born
And proudly they will sing the song of the tinker Nancy Miles
