Chorus:
ringa-dinga dum
a'ringa-dinga daddio'
ringa-dinga dum
fol-a whack fol-a laddio'
She had a wooden leg
that was hollow down the middle
she tied it with some string
and she played it like a fiddle
she fiddled in the hall
she fiddled in the alley way
she didn't give a damn
'cause she had to piddle any way
Chorus:
She said she wouldn't dance
unless she had her Wellies on
but when she had 'em on
she could dance as well as anyone
she wouldn't go to bed
unless she had her chemise on
but when she had it on
she'd go to bed with anyone
Chorus:
She had lovers by the score
she had Tom-n-Dick-n-Harry
she courted night and day
and yet she wouldn't marry
but then she fell in love
with the fella' with the stammer
when he tried to run away
she hit him with a hammer
Chorus:
She had children up the stairs
she had children in the boyer
another ten or twelve
sittin' rollin' by the fire
she fed them on potatoes
and soup she made from lentils
and lumps of hairy bacon
that she boiled up in the kettle
Chorus:
She had led a sheltered life
eatin' porridge and black puddin'
she terrorized her man
until he died right sudden
when her husband died
she was feeling kind of sorry
so she rolled him in a sack
and threw him in the quarry
Chorus:X-2
