The Cobbler Songtext
von The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

My name is Dick Darby, I′m a cobbler
I served my time at Old Camp
Some call me an old agitator
But now I've resolved to repent
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day
With me ro bo bo ro bo bo randy
And my lobstone keeps beating away
Now my father was hanged 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-ting of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day
With me ro bo bo ro bo bo randy
And my lobstone keeps beating away
These forty long years I have travelled
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-ting of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day
With me ro bo bo ro bo bo randy
And my lobstone keeps beating away
Now my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
My wife she′s the devil, she′s black
And no matter what I may do with her
Her tongue it goes clickety-clack
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day
With me ro bo bo ro bo bo randy
And my 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-ting of an i-doe
With me ing-twing of an ing-ting of an i-day
With me ro bo bo ro bo bo randy
