The Woman From Wexford

歌詞

Well, there was an old woman from Wexford And in Wexford she did dwell She loved her old man dearly But another one twice as well When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Ah, one day she went to a doctor Some medicine for to find She said, will ye give me something That'll make me old man blind? When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Says he, give him eggs and marrow bones And make him sup them all And it won't be so very long after That he won't see you at all When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Well, the doctor wrote a letter And he signed it with his hand He sent it to the old man Just to let him understand When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Well, she fed him the eggs and marrow bones And she made him sup them all And it wasn't so very long after that He couldn't see the wall When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Said the old man, I think I drown meself But that might be a sin Says she, I'll come along with you And I'll help to shove you in When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Well, the old woman she stood back a bit For to rush an' push him in But the old man gently stood aside And she went tumblin' in When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Oh, how loudly she did yell And how loudly she did bawl Arra, hold yer whist, old woman [Incomprehensible] he, I can't see you at all When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Ah, sure eggs and eggs and marrow bones May make yer old man blind But if you want to drown him You must creep up close behind When me tiggery, tiggery, toram And me toram, toram, ta Hey, tiggery, tiggery, toram And the blind man he could see
