The Cobbler

O my name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler

I served my time at the old camp

Some call me an old agitator

But now I'm resolved to repent

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-doe

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-dae

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy

And me lobstone 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 ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-doe

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-dae

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy

And me lobstone keeps beating away

This forty long years I have traveled

All by the contents of my pack

My hammers, my awls and my pincers

I carried them all on my back

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-doe

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-dae

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy

And me lobstone keeps beating away

Now my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy

My 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 eye-doe

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-dae

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy

And me lobstone 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 eye-doe

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an eye-dae

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy

And me lobstone keeps beating away
