Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, there was an old woman from Wexford
\nAnd in Wexford she did well
\nShe lovered old man dearly
\nBut another one twice as well<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nWith me tiggery tiggery-toram
\nAnd me toram-toram-ta<\/p>\n

Ah one day she went to a doctor
\nSome medicine for to find
\nShe said, ‘Will ye give me something
\nThat’ll make my ould man blind?’<\/p>\n

Says he, ‘Give me eggs and marrow bones
\nAnd make him sup them all
\nAnd it won’t be so very long after
\nThat he won’t see you at all.’<\/p>\n

Well the doctor wrote a letter
\nAnd he signed it with his hand
\nHe sent it to the ould man
\nJust to let him understand<\/p>\n

So she fed him the eggs and the marrow bones;
\nAnd she made him sup them all
\nAnd it wasn’t so very long after
\nThat he couldn’t see the wall<\/p>\n

Says th’ould man ‘I think I’ll drown meself
\nBut that might be a sin.’
\nSays she, ‘I’ll come along with you
\nAnd I’ll help to shove you in.’<\/p>\n

Well the ould woman she stood back a bit
\nFor to rush an’ push him in
\nBut the ould man gently stepped aside
\nAnd she went tumblin’ in<\/p>\n

Oh, how lowdly she did yell
\nAnd how loudly she did bawl
\n‘Arra, hould yer whist, y’ould woman
\nSure I can’t see you at all<\/p>\n

Ah, sure eggs, eggs and marrow bones
\nWill make yer ould man blind
\nBut, if you want to drown him
\nYou must creep up close behind
\nWith me tiggery tiggery-toram
\nAnd me toram-toram-ta
\nWith me tiggery tiggery-toram
\nAnd the blind man he could see<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
