Easily the sickest song I've ever heard!
Any point to it/true story or something that might make it slightly better?

Must have missed the meaning........doesn't this woman stab her 3 month old baby in the head and then get hung for it?
Either I'm missing something or it's just the Sligo sense of humour :D

Possibly "John McGettigan & His Irish Minstrels".....laods of bands have done i though-lyrics vary slightly-mine is on a Cd right in the middle of a really good versipn of Tell me Ma.
That's the lyrics anyways.......sick stuff! :eek:

Yes and your point is what :confused: :D
Any traditional song worth it's salt has to have a murder in it, or at least a serious crime. Some gibberish words also helps
Another case in point (one of my personal favourites):
DICK DARBY
Oh me name is Dick Darby, I'm a cobbler.
I served me time at old camp.
They call me an old agitator,
But now I'm resolved to repent.
With an intwing and an inthing and an I-doe
With an intwing an inthing and an I-day
With me rubber bur-rubber bur-randy
And me lap stone keeps beating away.
My father was hung for sheep stealing.
Me mother was burned for a witch.
My sister's a dandy housekeeper,
And I'm a mechanical switch.
With an intwing and an inthing and an I-doe
With an intwing an inthing and an I-day
With me rubber bur-rubber bur-randy
And me lap stone keeps beating away.
Ah it's forty long years I have traveled.
All by the contents of me pack.
Me hammers, me awls, and me pinchers,
I carry them all on me back.
With an intwing and an inthing and an I-doe
With an intwing an inthing and an I-day
With me rubber bur-rubber bur-randy
And me lap stone keeps beating away.
Oh my wife she is humpy, she's lumpy.
My wife, she's crazy, she's cracked,
And no matter what I may do with her,
Her tongue it goes clickety clack.
With an intwing and an inthing and an I-doe
With an intwing an inthing and an I-day
With me rubber bur-rubber bur-randy
And me lap stone keeps beating away.
It was early one fine summer's morning,
One morning just before day.
I dipped her three times in the river
And carelessly bid her "Good day."
With an intwing and an inthing and an I-doe
With an intwing an inthing and an I-day
With me rubber bur-rubber bur-randy
And me lap stone keeps beating away
