The Cobbler

Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler, I served me time at old camp

Some call me an old agitator, but now I'm resolved to repent

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday

With me roobooboo roobooboo 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 housekeeper, and I'm a mechanical switch

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday

With me roobooboo roobooboo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

Ah, it's forty long years I have travelled, all by the contents of me pack

Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers, I carry them all on me back

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday

With me roobooboo roobooboo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away

Oh, my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy, my wife she's the devil, she's black

And no matter what I may do with her, her tongue it goes clickety-clack

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday

With me roobooboo roobooboo 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 ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh

With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday

With me roobooboo roobooboo randy

And me lab stone keeps beating away
