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

With me roo-boo-boo roo-boo-boo randy
G D G
And me lab stone keeps beating away

Now 'tis forty long years I have traveled

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

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

And me lab stone keeps beating away

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
