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

Don't knock it. My mother's from Tubbercurry.

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!

I've only heard it been sung by one artist-The Dubliners

Yes and your point is what

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
