Lyrics
All you raiders and all you fancy men
Are you taking all that you can?
And are you trading, trading away
Today for tomorrow
Or tomorrow for today?
All you maidens and all you roving men
Are you playing in the lion's den?
And are you waiting, waiting today
For some unknown tomorrow
Or for some gone yesterday?
And since you met me out on Ryan's Road that day
In the morning hour, just before it rained
I am taken, taken away
So far beyond tomorrow
And to another day
All you raiders and all you fancy men
Are you taking all that you can?
And are you trading, trading away
Today for tomorrow
Or tomorrow for today?
And are you trading, trading away
Today for tomorrow
Or tomorrow for today?
Today for tomorrow
Or tomorrow for today?
