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
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
