Well, I met a traveller Never did learn his name; His eyes were bright coloured. But not both the same. He shook my hand warmly I could tell he was strong And he answered my questions By singing this song One find it, two lose it Same everywhere; One make it, two take it Mostly don't care. Well, it rained all that night And in the morning, rain still And I saw the traveller At the top of the hill He was laughing at the thunder And banging a gong And, at the top of his voice He shouted his song. One find it, etc. When the storm had died down He came to my door And he looked really happy As he dripped on the floor He said, "Please excuse me But I won't stay long; Just give me what you don't want And then I'll move on, singing One find it, etc. Said he had to keep going But he didn't say where When I offered him money He refused with a glare. Then he roared out with laughter As ht picked up his gong And he left without looking back Singing his song: One find it, etc. (repeat)
