The Cobbler - Tommy Makem

Oh me name is Dick Darby I'm a cobbler

I served my time at ould camp

Some call me an old agitator

But now I'm resolved to repent

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I doe

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I day

With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

Now my father was hung for sheep stealing

My mother was burned for a witch

My sister's a dandy house keeper

And I'm a mechanical switch

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I doe

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I day

With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

It's forty long years I have traveled

All by the contents of me pack

Me hammers me awls and me pinchers

I carry them all on me back

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I doe

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I day

With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

Oh my wife she is humpy she's lumpy

Me wife she's the devil she's cracked

And no matter what I may do with her

Her tongue it goes clickety clack

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I doe

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I day

With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

It was early one fine summer's morning

A little before it was day

I dipped her three times in the river

And carelessly bade her 'good day'

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I doe

With me ing twing of an ing thing of an I day

With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away
