Verse 1
(G major) There was an old woman in Wexford,
in Wexford town did dwell.
She loved her husband (C major) dearly,
but another man (G major) twice as (C major) well.
With me (G major) rightful little Errol,
(A flat major) and me (G major) rightful Oralee.
One day she went to the doctor,
some medicine for to find.
Said, Doctor, give me (C major) something
that'll (G major) make me old man (C major) blind.
With me (G major) rightful little Errol,
and me rightful Oralee.
Oh, feed him eggs and marabones,
and make him sup them all
And it won't be so very long (C major) after,
that'll he won't see (G major) you (C major) at all
Now, it may (G major) write for little Errol,
(A flat major) and may (G major) write for Loralee
Oh, she gave him eggs and marabones,
and made him sup them all
And it wasn't so very long (C major) after,
that'll he (G major) couldn't see the (C major) one
Now, it may (G major) write for (A flat major) little Errol,
(G major) and may write for Loralee
Said he, I'd go and drown meself,
but that might be a sin
Says she, I'll go to the (C major) water's edge,
and I'll help to (G major) push you (C major) in
With me (G major) rifle, a little ladle,
(A flat major) and me (G major) rifle, orally
The old woman, she went back a bit,
to get a (E flat major) run and (A flat major) go
(G major) The old man blightly (C major) stepped aside,
and (G major) she went in (C major) below
With me (G major) rifle, a little ladle,
and me rifle, orally
Oh, how loudly did she roar,
and how loudly did she bawl
At a howl you're wished all,
(C major) woman's a seizure,
I can't see (A flat major) you at (C major) all
With me (A flat major) rifle, a little ladle,
and me (G major) rifle, oh, relieve
She swam and swam
and swam and swam,
till she came to the further brim
The old man got a (C major) long, large ball,
and he (G major) pushed her further (C major) in
With me (G major) rifle, a little ladle,
and me rifle, oh, relieve
Oh, eggs or eggs or marabons
will make your old man blind
But if you want to (C major) drown him,
you must (G major) creep up close be (C major) hind
Let me (G major) write for Little Ed,
let me write for Lowry Lee (C major) (G major)
