With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-do
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
Me name is d*** Darby, I'm a cobbler
I served my time at old camp
Some call me an old agitator
But now I'm resolved to repent
Me father was hung for sheep-stealing
Me mother was burnt for a witch
Me sister's a dandy housekeeper
And I am the son of a - witch
It's forty long years I have travelled
All by the contents of me pack
Me hammers, me awls and me pinches
I carry them all on me back
Me wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
Me wife she's the devil, she's black
And no matter what I may do with her
Her tongue it goes clickety-clack
It was early one fine summer's morning
A little before it was day
I dipped her three times in the Mersey
And carelessly bade her, Good day
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
Me name is d*** Darby, I'm a cobbler
I served my time at old camp
Some call me an old agitator
But now I'm resolved to repent
Me father was hung for sheep-stealing
Me mother was burnt for a witch
Me sister's a dandy housekeeper
And I am the son of a - witch
It's forty long years I have travelled
All by the contents of me pack
Me hammers, me awls and me pinches
I carry them all on me back
Me wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
Me wife she's the devil, she's black
And no matter what I may do with her
Her tongue it goes clickety-clack
It was early one fine summer's morning
A little before it was day
