The Tinker And The Crab Lyrics - Donovan

On the windy beach the sun is shining through with 

weather fair 

White horses riding on the seas pasture onto the 

sand 

Over the Dunes came a travelling man 

Sack on back Wild flowers in his hand 

Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand 

and stare 

Scratching his beard through the grass he steered 

his sandy shoe 

Disappearing in the dips pondering and wandering 

along 

Nice as you please comes the travelling man 

Drinking a bottle of milk in his hand 

Speaking to no one in particular but happily 

Down where the gulls dance driftwood lying drying 

for the fire 

Yellow beak and sleek now the gulls are crying 

flying higher 

Out from the sea came a little green Crab 

Taking the Sun the morning being very drab 

Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand 

and stare
