I saw an old jaikie as we call them in glasgow, but to you a tramp or a tink.
lying on a park bench and the words for this seemed to just form.
opinions welcome......just a first draft, penned it on the way to work this morning.
He travels all around up and down
itchy feet hes often got
under the bridge, behind the church
always in a different spot
they call him the tinkerman
scowl when they see him drink his can
but he's lost it all and he
drinks to forget
when hes sober he just
feels upset
hes got an old stained coat, its falling apart
same coat he had as a family man
used to be a boss but fond of the sauce
now hes lost his biggest fan
they call him the tinkerman
scowl when they see him drink his can
but he's lost it all
and he drinks to forget
when he's sober he just
feels upset
so if you see the tinkerman
try not to pass judgement
hes an intelligent man
given the chance but
you only see a vagrant
And i'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it and reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it.- Bob Dylan,a hard rains gonna fall
Hey hurricane
I like the idea, but the last verse needs reworded how some thing like this.
so if you see the tinkerman
try not to pass judgement
you only see a vagrant
but hes an intelligent man
If he is given a chance
Just my opinion.
