Tinker gave my girl a ring,
she threw that thing right back at him
A tailor sewed her a brand new coat,
now I slit that man's throat
A soldier fought a war for her,
she dismissed him as a worthless cop
A sailor stole her across the sea,
I sank that ship, she swam to me
A rich man tried to buy her soul,
buried that boy in a six -foot hole
Poor man begged to marry him,
he had rotted teeth and stank of gin
But one man did what no man could, stole my girl,
What he did was beyond belief,
that man was nothing but a common thief
Tinker got down upon his knees,
he even said pretty please
A tailor sewed her a silken gown,
but all she wore was a frown
Soldier loaded his biggest gun,
but still he didn't care no fun
Sailor cried upon the deck,
they locked him away, a nervous wreck
Rich man bought her a sailing yacht she owned and said,
Poor man said, I'm an honest man, she said,
I honestly don't think I can
But one man did what no man could, stole my girl,
What he did was beyond belief,
that man was nothing but a common thief, thief
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man,
Thief, thief, thief, scum thief
Drink a dilla, strut your styla, rich man,
poor man, beggar man, junk!
