So the guy had a job as a cobbler fixing shoes - he had a wife who was a major pain so he dumped her in the river.
The Cobbler
(A favorite Irish Song with lyrics and chords)
D A7 D
Oh me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler
C
I served me time at the old camp
D G D
Some call me an old agitator
A7 D
But now I'm resolved to repent
D A7 D
With me intwing of an ingthing of an iday
C
With me intwing of an ingthing of an iday
D G D
With me roo boo boo roo boo boo randy
A7 D
And me lab stone keeps beating away
D A7 D
Now my father was hung for sheep stealing
C
Me mother was burned for a witch
D G D
My sister's a dandy housekeeper
A7 D
And I'm a mechanical switch CHORUS
D A7 D
Ah it's forty long years I have traveled
C
All by the contents of me pack
D G D
Me hammers, me awls, and me pincers
D A7 D
I carry them all on me back CHORUS
D A7 D
Oh my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy
C
My wife, she's the devil, she's cracked
D G D
And no matter what I may do with her
D A7 D
Her tongue it goes clickety clack CHORUS
D A7 D
It was early one fine summer's morning
C
A little before it 'twas day
D G D
I dipped her three times in the river
D A7 D
And carelessly bade her "Good day" CHORUS
