lyrics

When I was young we roamed the land
(Hey where did those good times go?)
Home was a horse drawn caravan
(Where did the good times go?)

I slept with breeze upon me face
(Hey where did those good times go?)
Woke up in a different place
(Where did the good times go?)

This trav’llin life is over
No trav’llin days for me no more
Trav’llin life is over
Settlin down settlin down

My playground was the open air
(Hey where did those good times go?)
I had not a single care
(Where did the good times go?)

We were such a merry band
(Hey where did those good times go?)
Friends and fam’ly close at hand
(Where did the good times go?)

This trav’llin life is over
No trav’llin days for me no more
Trav’llin life is over
Settlin down settlin down

The lawman said you can’t stop here
You can’t stop here nor anywhere
A way of life under arrest
It’s time you were settlin’ down


They put me in a council flat
(Hey where did those good times go?)
What would a trav’ller want with that
(Where did the good times go?)

Me fam’ly scattered far away
(Hey where did those good times go?)
I guess the lawmen got their way
(Where did those good times go?)

This trav’llin life is over
No trav’llin days for me no more
Trav’llin life is over
Settlin down settlin down
