Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler
I served me time at old camp
Some call me an old agitator
But now I'm resolved to repent
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday
With me roobooboo roobooboo randy
And me lab stone 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 ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday
With me roobooboo roobooboo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
Ah, it's forty long years I have travelled
All by the contents of me pack
Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers
I carry them all on me back
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday
With me roobooboo roobooboo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away
Oh, 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 ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday
With me roobooboo roobooboo randy
And me lab stone 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 ingtwing of an ingthing of an idoh
With me ingtwing of an ingthing of an iday
With me roobooboo roobooboo randy
And me lab stone keeps beating away |

This is the song of a man who found a solution to his wife problem. |
