Well, there was an old woman from Wexford and in 
Wexford she did well
She loved her old man dearly but another one twice as 
well

Chorus:
With me tiggery tiggery toram and me toram toram ta

Ah one day she went to a doctor, some medicine for to 
find
She said: Will ye give me something that'll make me old 
man blind?

Says he: Give him eggs and marrow bones and make him 
sup 'em all
And it won't be so very long after that he won't see 
you at all

Well the doctor wrote a letter and he signed it with 
his hand
He sent it to the old man just to let him understand

So she fed him the eggs and marrow bones and she made 
him sup 'em all
And it wasn't so very long after that he couldn't see 
the wall

Says th'ol man: I think I'll drown meself, but that 
might be a sin
Says she: I'll come along with you and I'll help to 
shove you in

Well the ould woman she stood back a bit for to rush 
an' push him in
But the old man gently stood aside and she went 
tumblin' in

Oh, how loudly she did yell and how loudly she did bawl
'Arra, hold yer whist, y'ould woman, says he I can't 
see you at all

Ah, sure eggs and eggs and marrow bones will make yer 
old man blind
But if you want to drown him, you must creep up close 
behind

With me tiggery tiggery toram and me toram toram ta
With me tiggery tiggery toram and the blind man he 
could see
