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. Chorus: With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-do, With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day, With my roo-boo-boo, roo-boo-boo randy, And my labstone keeps b'atin' away. Now me father was hung for sheep st'aling, Me mother was burned for a witch, Me sister's a dandy housekeeper, And I'm a mechanical switch. (Chorus) Ah, these forty long years I have traveled All by the contents of me pack. Me hammers, me awls and me pincers I carry them all on me back. (Chorus) Ah, me wife she's humpy, she's lumpy, Me wife she's the divil, she's black. And no matter what I may do with her Her tongue it goes clickety-clack. (Chorus) It was early one fine summer's mornin', A little before it was day, I dipped her three times in the river, And carelessly bade her good day. (Chorus)
