[Verse 1]
On the windy beach the sun is shining
Through with weather fair
White horses riding on the seas
Pasture onto the sand
[Bridge]
Over the Dunes came a travelling man
Sack on back, wild flowers in his hand
Old rusty cans
Pebbles 'bedded in the sand
Stand and stare
[Verse 2]
Scratching his beard through the grass
He steered his sandy shoe
Disappearing in the dips pondering
And wandering along
[Bridge]
Nice as you please
Comes the travelling man
Drinking a bottle of milk in his hand
Speaking to no one in particular
But happily
[Verse 3]
Down where yon gulls dance
Driftwood lying drying for the fire
Yellow beak and sleek
Now, the gulls are crying flying higher
[Bridge]
Out from the sea came a little green crab
Taking the sun the morning being very drab
Old rusty cans
Pebbles 'bedded in the sand
Stand and stare
[Outro]
The tinker and the crab
The tinker and the crab
The tinker and the crab
