| When | Am I | was just a | G young | boy and I | C had | nt made my | D fame | , |
| I | Am fooled | around with the | G tin | kers lad, but | E stopped | just before we came. |
| Now we | Am both | have grown to | G man | hood, but the | C tin | kers moved a | D way | . |
| And I | Am long | for the tinkers | G grand | son, and I | E won | der if hes | Am gay | . |
| For theres | C ma | ny dark and handsome, and theres | G ma | ny fine and fey, |
| But Im | Am mad | for the tinkers | Em grands | on, and I | Am love | him | Em to | this | Am day | . |
Now, a tinker is a rambler, and he travels to the stars.
And the tinkers daughters son is bound to frequent many bars.
So Ive sought him in the deepest seas and the furthest stars above,
And Ive had a thousand one night stands, but I havent found my love.
And theres many dark and handsome, and theres many fine and fey,
But Im mad for the tinkers grandson, and I wonder if hes gay.
Ive tried the muscle parlors, and the muscle men inside.
Ive tried the sun-tanned sailors of the sea, with tattoos on their hide.
Tried the fairies in the bushes, and a queen upon the throne.
But Ive got it bad for the tinkers lad; my love has only grown.
For theres many dark and handsome, and theres many fine and fey,
But Im mad for the tinkers grandson, and I love him to this day.
Now, love will make you desperate, and love will make you swear.
And love will make you grasp at straws you arent sure are there.
And love will keep you searching til youre wrinkled up and gray.
But Im mad for the tinkers grandson, and I wonder if hes gay.
For theres many dark and handsome, and theres many fine and fey,
But Im mad for the tinkers grandson, and I love him to this day.
And theres many dark and handsome, and theres many fine and fey,
But Im mad for the tinkers grandson, and I wonder if hes gay.
