    are a few tramps going around and their names are Charley Crawely and Anne Power. These tramps travel singly while the tinkers go in families and in bands. Long ago the tinkers used to travel, through a lot of counties.
    When they would come back to where they started they used to bring news and tell stories and the people would gather round to hear them.
