lyrics

The Roaring Tinker if you like,
But Mannion is my name.
And I beat up the common sort,
And think it is no shame.
The common breeds the common;
A lout begets a lout.
So when I take on half a score
I knock their heads about.
From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.

All Mannions come from Manannan,
Though rich on every shore
He never lay behind four walls
He had such character,
Nor ever made an iron red,
Nor soldered pot or pan;
His roaring and his ranting
Best please a wandering man.
From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.

Could Crazy Jane ward off old age
And ranting time renew,
Could that old god rise up again,
We'd drink a can or two,
And out and lay our leadership
On country and on town,
Throw lively couples into bed
And knock the others down.
From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.
