The Tinker's Poitín - Irish Folk

The Tinker's Poitín. I found this song on the Irish Traditional Music Archives sung by Annie Hirrell. The earliest recording i can find is on a 1969 album called 'The Leprechaun' by an Irish/Canadian folk group called 'Sullivans Gypsies', on the album they give the writing credit to a Don McLennan. Poitín is a traditional Irish distilled spirit, similar to moonshine in the US, Its wicked stuff and id recommend you try a shwig, and if you have one shwig ye may as well have two shwigs, and the next thing you know you'll be upside down in a caravan in Longford. g'luck. Lyrics below; I was born a tinker and I'll tell you no lie A tinker I've lived and a tinker I'll die No don't get me wrong I carry no shame. The Lord made me a tinker and I'm proud of my name My father brewed poteen on Bessybrook Brae When I was twelve to me he did say Well son you're of age and it's plain to be seen It's time that I taught you how to make the poteen Well he taught to me the trade and I learned well I make the finest poteen any tinker could sell And I use the same still that me da used before Aye it's been in the family a hundred years or more Well I sold my poteen from Derry to Cork From Donegal to Dublin and around by Mayo Through the thirty-two counties I'm free to roam The poteen's my living and the roadside's my home I married a tinker a colleen so fair Her father and mother were tinkers from Clare And to have me a son was my fondest dreams I would love teaching him how to make the poteen I will teach him the trade of the tinker's poteen
