The Dubliners - Woman From Wexford lyrics

Well, there was an old woman from Wexford and in Wexford she did well She loved her old man dearly but another one twice as well Chorus: With 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? Says he: Give him eggs and marrow bones and make him sup 'em all And it won't be so very long after that he won't see you at all 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 So she fed him the eggs and marrow bones and she made him sup 'em all And it wasn't so very long after that he couldn't see the wall Says th'ol man: I think I'll drown meself, but that might be a sin Says she: I'll come along with you and I'll help to shove you in Well the ould 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 Oh, how loudly she did yell and how loudly she did bawl 'Arra, hold yer whist, y'ould woman, says he I can't see you at all Ah, sure eggs and eggs and marrow bones will make yer old man blind But if you want to drown him, you must creep up close behind With me tiggery tiggery toram and me toram toram ta With me tiggery tiggery toram and the blind man he could see
