First stanza's lyrics by Robert Jordan, all other lyrics and music by Sela Narian


Tinker in the kitchen with a job of work to do

Mistress up above slipping on a robe of blue

She prances down the staircase, her fancy oh so free,

Crying, Tinker! Oh, dear Tinker, won't you mend a pot for me?


The master of the house is always glad to do his part

But I think you'll agree this sort of business is an art

And in the past the master's missed a spot or two or three

So, Tinker, oh dear Tinker, won't you mend a pot for me?

I'm really sitting in a spot of trouble, don't you see?

So, Tinker oh dear Tinker, won't you mend a pot for me?


The neighbor comes and lends his aid, for he's a gallant sort

And I would not complain were he not falling rather short

I've heard the tool you use is of fantastic quality

So, Tinker, oh dear Tinker, won't you mend a pot for me?


The master's hired a working man to help me with the chores

He's young and energetic, especially outdoors

He has a gift, but ah! she cried, it's his day off, you see,

So Tinker, oh dear Tinker, won't you lend a pot for me?

I think we'll both be happy with this opportunity

So, Tinker, oh dear Tinker, won't you lend a pot for me?


Tinker and the mistress in the kitchen all alone

When they're interrupted by the master coming home

The master cries aloud, "Well, that's a sight to see!

There's a tinker in my kitchen! Won't you mend a pot for me?

I've heard the tool you use is of fantastic quality

So Tinker, oh dear Tinker, won't you lend a pot for me?
