Jump at the Sun - Scythian

He was a swindler and a drinker

The red-haired tinker’s son

With the pots and pans a’clinker, a man born on the run

From the hills of Kerry to Derry, Killarney to Du’lin

With a wheelin' and a dealin'

And a heart that was made of tin

Va Va Va I’m as free as I can be,

I’m a tinker and a traveler, you’ll never burden me

A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run

If you think that you can chain us

You might as well jump at the sun

Her father was jailed for stealin'

Me mother’s black as a witch

My sister ran off with the Sheridan clan

My brother’s drunk in a ditch

I fastened horns to a jackass, then selled it as a cow

Take my drinkin' over thinkin'

And my wagon over the plow

Va Va Va I’m as free as I can be,

I’m a tinker and a traveler, you’ll never burden me

A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run

If you think that you can chain us

You might as well jump at the sun

Va-a-a-a

Va-a-a-a

Look at her dancin' from the sunlight

Her music from the trees

Her manners from the ocean

Her schoolin' from the breeze

Every lassie is a princess

Every laddie born a king

Forever by the fireside, you’ll hear the tinker sing

Va Va Va I’m as free as I can be,

I’m a tinker and a traveler, you’ll never burden me

A son of Judas Iscariot, forever on the run

If you think that you can chain us

You might as well jump at the sun

Va-a-a-a

Va-a-a-a

Va-a-a-a

Va-a-a

You might as well jump at the sun
