CThe old ways are changing you Fcannot deny
TheC day of the traveler is ovFerG
There's Amnowhere to go and there's Cnowhere to bFide
SoC farewell to the life of the FroverC

CGoodbye to the tent and the olFd caravan
To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman
AndC goodbye to the thirty foot tFraileCr
[Verse 2]
CFarewell to the cant and the RFomany tongue
FarCewell to the Romany FtalGking
The buyiAmng and the selling, the olCd fortune teFlling
ThCe knock on the door and the hFawkinCg

CGoodbye to the tent and the olFd caravan
To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman
AndC goodbye to the thirty foot tFraileCr
[Verse 3]
CFarewell to the besoms of heatFher and bloom

CGoodbye to the tent and the olFd caravan
To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman
AndC goodbye to the thirty foot tFraileCr
[Verse 4]

To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman

[Verse 6]
CFarewell to the fields where we've Fsweated and toiled
At Cpullin' and crownin' and lFifGtin'

To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman
AndC goodbye to the thirty foot tFraileCr
[Verse 7]
CYou've got to move fast to keep Fup with the times
ForC these days a man cannot dFanGder
There's Ama bylaw to say you must beC on your wayF
AnCd another to say you can't FwandeCr
[Chorus]
CGoodbye to the tent and the olFd caravan
To the Ctinker, the gypsy, the Ftraveling Gman
AndC goodbye to the thirty foot tFraileCr
