Tinker

The Essex Green

She heard the news and she wondered how anyone could run so far away from a good thing, she wanted him to stay 
But he was sneaky, he found another girl and now he's gone 

She heard it second-hand 
He's leaving off the land 

Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye... 

She only wanted the truth, and nothing more 
But he left her hangin', yeah 
He left her hangin', yeah 

She's got the words to describe him, in her gossip column and he sure has it coming 'cause he found another girl and now he's gone 
But with the news that she's making, she'll find another boy before too long, after he's gone she'll laugh that she had cried a tear at all 

She hopes that he will stay on the coast of Monterey 

Bye-bye, Tinker, goodbye... (bye-bye)
