[00:17.640] I'm Darby the tinker and my brother is Tam
[00:27.710] We go where the work is, me boys and we work where we can
[00:37.880] With the mending and fixing, it's together we stay
[00:47.820] Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
[01:01.600] We come to your cities and we call on your wives
[01:10.490] We'll fix up your kettles, please dear missus, we'll sharpen your knives
[01:20.430] And we always agreed that together we'd stay
[01:30.460] Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
[02:00.590] Now times, they grow scanty and the money grew thin
[02:10.650] We worked for a song but the money, it didn't come in
[02:20.280] Now brothers are kindred but hard times betray
[02:30.300] And so we stumbled apart on the old changing way
[02:42.830] We never agreed to divide our tin
[02:52.640] And when you're out of love with your brother, your hard times begin
[03:02.550] For the spikes and the brothels, they are shameful to see
[03:12.650] But don't you travel alone, boys, this warning you take from me
[03:20.220] You must share with your nearest till the end of your days
[03:30.650] Or else it's forever you'll roam the old changing way
