Lyrics The Cobbler - Tommy Makem , Liam Clancy

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
Chorus:
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
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
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
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"
