Key: Eb major
Verse 1
She loved her old man dearly,
and another one twice as well,
And one day he went to the doctor,
some medicine for to find,
Says, she will you give me something
that'll make my old man blind,
It won't be so very long after that Lee
won't see you at all
With your rightful little lairdle
and your rightful old Lee
And he sent it to the old man
just to let him understand
With your rightful little lairdle
and your rightful old Lee
And she feeds him eggs and marabones
and makes him sup them all
It wasn't so very long after
that Lee couldn't see the wall
D
G
With your rightful little lairl
and your rightful owrly.

Oh, says he, I'd go and drown meself,
but that might be a sin.
Says she, I'll come to the water's edge
and I'll help to push you in
With your rightful little lairl
and your rightful owrly.
So they jogged and jogged and jogged along
till they came to the water's
brim.
Says she, you came here
to drown yourself
and me to push you in
With your rightful little lairl
and your rightful owrly.
And the old woman,
she stepped back a bit
to rush and push him in.
An the old man quietly stepped aside,
and she went tumbling in,
With your rightful little ladle,
and your rightful oldie.
Oh, how loudly did she yell,
and how loudly did she bawl,
Or a howl you wished,
old woman,
when he said,
Sure I can't see you at all,
With your rightful little ladle,
and your rightful oldie.
She swam and swam and swam around,
till she came to the farther brim,
But the old man got a long bargepole,
and he pushed her farther in,
With your rightful little ladle,
and your rightful oldie.
Now eggs are eggs,
and marabones may make your old man blind,
But if you want to drown him,
you must creep up close behind
With your rightful little earl
and your rightful owly.
