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, two lose it,
same everywhere
One make it, two take it,
mostly don't care
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, two,
lose it, save everywhere
One, make it, two,
take it, mostly don't care
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 he picked up his gong
And he left without looking back,
singing his song
One find it, two lose it, same everywhere
One make it, two take it,
mostly don't care
One find it, two lose it, same everywhere
One make it, two take it,
mostly don't care
