There was a wise old woman,
She loved her husband dearly,
and another man twice as well
With me, Tiggery -oo -rum -oo -rum,
and beware the likes of she
Tiggery -oo -rum -oo -rum,
and the blind man he can see
Well, she went into the doctor's shop,
She asked the doctor kindly
what would close her old man's eye
With me tiggery ooram ooram
and beware the likes of she
and the blind man he could see
Well get for him some marabou's
and make him suck them all
And when he has the last one sucked
With me tiggery ooram ooram
and beware the likes of she
and the blind man he couldn't see
Well the doctor went to this old man
and told him what she spoke
He thanked the doctor kindly
and he said he'd play the joke
With me Tiggery ooram ooram
and beware the likes of she
and the blind man he couldn't see
So she got for him the marabou's
and made him suck them all
And when he had the last one sucked,
he could hardly see the wall
With me, Tiggery -oo -roo
beware of the likes of she
Tiggery -oo -roo -moo -roo -man,
In this world I have no comfort,
and it's here I can't remain
I'd like to go and drown myself
if I could see the stream
With me, Tiggery -oo -roo -moo -roo -man,
beware of the likes of she
and the blind man he can see
If in this world you have no comfort
and it's here you can't remain
If you'd like to go and drown yourself
I'll show to you the stream
With me, Tiggery ooram ooram
and beware the life's a shame
and the blind man he can see
Right, well, I'll stand on the riverbank
and you run down the hill
And push me in with all of your might,
she says, me love, I will
With me Tigiri -urum -urum,
and beware of the lights, say she
and the blind man he could see
Well, he stood on the river bank,
and watched her tumble in
With me Tigiri -urum -urum,
and beware of the lights, say she
and the blind man he can see
Well she sank down to the bottom
and she floated to the top
He put a wattle to her side
and pushed her farther off
Wimpy tiggery ooram ooram
and beware the lice are she
and the blind man he can see
Oh me Johnny, lovely Johnny,
are you leaving me behind?
Well me Nancy, lovely Nancy,
sure you thought you had me blind
With me jiggery ooroo mooroo man,
beware the lights a sheen
Jiggery ooroo mooroo man,
