G            C            G
Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler
  G                      F
I served my time at ould camp
     G          C       G
Some call me an old agi-tator
    G          D          G
But now I'm resolved to repent

[Chorus]
        G               C               G
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
        G                                F
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
        G           C           G
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
       G               D        G
And me lab stone keeps beating away

[Verse 2]
       G          C              G
Ah, me father was hung for sheep stealing
   G                       F
Me mother was burned for a witch
   G          C           G
Me sister's a dandy house-keeper
    G        D       G
And I'm a mechanical switch

[Chorus]
        G               C               G
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
        G                                F
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
        G           C           G
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
       G               D        G
And me lab stone keeps beating away

[Verse 3]
         G          C            G
Now 'tis forty long years I have traveled
    G                     F
All by the contents of me pack
   G           C           G
Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers
  G          D         G
I carry them all on me back

[Chorus]
        G               C               G
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
        G                                F
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
        G           C           G
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
       G               D        G
And me lab stone keeps beating away

[Verse 4]
       G           C            G
Oh, me wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
   G                           F
Me wife she's the devil, she's black
       G           C         G
And no matter what I may do with her
    G                D        G
Her tongue, it goes clickety-clack

[Chorus]
        G               C               G
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
        G                                F
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
        G           C           G
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
       G               D        G
And me lab stone keeps beating away

[Verse 5]
       G         C             G
It was early one fine summer's morning
   G                   F
A little before it was day
   G               C            G
I dipped her three times in the river
     G          D             G
And carelessly bade her "Good day"

[Chorus]
        G               C               G
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe
        G                                F
With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-day
        G           C           G
With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
       G               D        G
And me lab stone keeps beating away
