lyrics

Streetsinger

In sunny Spain and cold England, there's a streetsinger
Timbuktu and Samarkand, a streetsinger
His music started long ago
It's the oldest trade, but one, you know

Steetsinger sing me a song
Of where you've been and what you've done
Ways of the world, right and wrong
Streetsinger sing me a song!

Guitar in hand, a drum on his back, the Streetsinger
Money that he earns he throws in a sack. Streetsinger
From his looks you think he might be poor
His energy keeps the wolf from the door

Steetsinger sing me a song
Of where you've been and what you've done
Ways of the world, right and wrong
Streetsinger sing me a song!

Summer last year, you saw this man, streetsinger
Playing in the street in your holiday town, streetsinger
Now winter's come, he's wandered north
The new-born year will turn him south

Steetsinger sing me a song
Of where you've been and what you've done
Ways of the world, right and wrong
Streetsinger sing me a song!

Day-in, day-out he sings his songs, streetsinger
Doesn't take a break, he must go on, streetsinger
He tours the towns from summer to spring
Doesn't always need the money, he needs to sing

Steetsinger sing me a song
Of where you've been and what you've done
Ways of the world, right and wrong
Streetsinger sing me a song!

His cold, cold hands work in the snow, streetsinger
Throw some money and away you go, to the Streetsinger
You might wonder why he lives this way
As you pass him on a cold, cold day
But you might not think and you might not care
He could be living anywhere

Steetsinger sing me a song
Of where you've been and what you've done
Ways of the world, right and wrong
Streetsinger sing me a song!
