Текст песни The Cobbler (Tommy Makem) с переводом

Oh, me name is Dick Darby, I’m a cobbler

I served my time at ould camp

Some call me an old agitator

But now I’m resolved to repent

With me ing-twing of an ing-thing of an i-doe

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

Now, my father was hung for sheep stealing

My mother was burned for a witch

My sister’s a dandy house-keeper

And I’m a mechanical switch

It’s forty long years I have traveled

All by the contents of me pack

Me hammers, me awls and me pinchers

I carry them all on me back

Oh, my wife she is humpy, she’s lumpy

Me wife she’s the devil, she’s cracked

And no matter what I may do with her

Her tongue, it goes clickety-clack

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»
