[Verse 1] Oh, I'm a rambler with a spring in me stride, No home to hold me, just the world as me guide From Galway's green hills to Cork's misty shore, I wander and sing, and then wander some more! [Chorus] Tra-la-la, fiddle-dee-dee, The road is me home, and the wind is me key With me pack on me back and a song in me heart, I'll dance through the countryside, never to part! [Verse 2] In Tipperary, they know me by name, A tale in me pocket, a joke just the same I'll share a pint here, and a story or two, Then tip me flat cap and bid them adieu! [Chorus] Tra-la-la, fiddle-dee-dee, The road is me home, and the wind is me key With me pack on me back and a song in me heart, I'll dance through the countryside, never to part! [Verse 3] No moss grows beneath these wandering feet, Each village a stage for me musical treat The farmers may laugh, the barmaids may smile, But I'm free as the wind for another long mile! [Chorus] Tra-la-la, fiddle-dee-dee, The road is me home, and the wind is me key With me pack on me back and a song in me heart, I'll dance through the countryside, never to part! [Final Verse] But listen close now, to this traveler's song, Home isn't a place where you're stuck for too long It's the friends that you meet, and the stories you share, The love that you carry, the joy that you bear! [Final Chorus] Tra-la-la, fiddle-dee-dee, The road is me home, and the heart sets you free With me pack on me back and a song in me heart, Life's but a journey, so make your own start!
