The song was written by Ewan McCall, a Scotsman who also wrote many other songs about the Travellers.

Dunno if anyone's said this already but this song was written by Ewan MacColl for his Radio Ballad entitled The Travelling People.

We are travellers/gypsys by the blood in our veins..They can take away our camps, our sites, our trailersBut they can never take away the traveller/gypsy bloodThat flows through our bodys.. I am a traveller, its made me who i amand i am proud of it.God bless us all

"You've got to move fast to keep up with the times, for these days a man cannot daunder. There's a bylaw to say you must be on your way and another to say you can't wander" Great Stuff!

On the Wikipedia bio of Luke, it makes the point that he "learned to sing with perfect diction"; it is indeed wonderful to hear a singer enunciate so beautifully. So many should follow his example...

scottish + irish + english folk music, all beautiful, and we all sing each others folk songs, be daft not to. the watersons version of this song is amazing too,

luke can never be replaced. long live travellers xx
