DICK DARBY THE COBBLER


      A            E            A
Oh me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler,
                         G
I serv-ed me time at Old Camp.
     A          D      A
Some call me an old agitator,  (masturbator?)
            G           A
But now I'm resolved to repent



Chorus:
E       A               E               A
With me Ing twing of an Ing thing of an I day
                                        A
With me Ing twing of an Ing thing of an I day
        A           D           A
With me roo-boo-boo-roo-boo-boo-randy,
                      G        A
And me lap-stone keep beating away.



Now me father was hung for sheep-stealing,
Me Mother was burned for a witch,
My sister's a dandy house keeper, (bawdy-house?)
And I'm a mechanical switch. (SOB?)



Ah, it's forty long years I have travelled,
All by the contents of me pack
Me hammers, me awls and me pincers,
I carry them all on me back.



Oh me wife, she's humpy, she's bumpy.
Me wife she's a devil, she's black.
And no matter what I may do with her,
Her tongue it goes clickety-clack.



It was early one fine summers morning,
A little before it was day,
I dipped her three times in the river
And carelessly bade her "Good day!"
