[chordsandlyrics][C]Nancy was a [G7]tinker girl who [C]roamed the country roads
And I will tell you how she [F]came to be a [C]legend in her [G-G7]time
And the [C]reason that I’ve [G7]come to know, [C]well, the tinker told me so
So all of us could [F]better know the [G7]tale of Nancy [C]Myles

Nancy’s father, tinker Dan, he was a poor but honest man
Drove a horse drawn caravan all thorough the Em’rald Isle
When Nancy was no more a child, Dan he didn’t have the time
Men would come from far and wide to be with Nancy myles
There’s pretty girls in magazines, movie stars and beauty queens
Nancy was the prettiest girl a man had ever seen
And the gleam of love within her eyes when she’d look at you and smile
Made you feel you were the man she’d longed to see
In every town and village too the name of Nancy grew and grew
Soon her name was spoken at many a camp fire site
And in Ballinasloe on her spare day when tinker men would have their say
Many a fight was fought to win the court of Nancy Myles
I hope that you don’t get me wrong, Nancy was the sweetest one
Heart so full of kindness and as charming as her smile
She was known throughout the land, the queen of all the tinker clan
‘Twas the dream of every man to marry Nancy Myles
Before the age of thirty one, a thousand men had come and gone
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her eyes
Every man that loved her then never was the same again
His memory was haunted with thoughts of Nancy Myles
Then there came the saddest day when Nancy’s father passed away
The loss aggrieved her dearly and her heart was filled with pain
Family, friends and courting men never saw her smile again
A change had taken place within the heart of Nancy Myles
Before the age of forty one Nancy she had come and gone
They searched the country over, not a trace of her did find
Nancy’s memory will live on, as long as tinker men are born
Proudly they will sing the song for the tinker Nancy Myles
