Spoken: This is an old song I learned from my daddy.
Little old man come in from the plow,
Dan-doo, dan-doo,
Little old man come in from the plow,
Tommy clash, tom clingo.
Little old man come in from the plow,
Said "Old woman got dinner ready now?
Derry black daggo. [1]
Piece old dry bread laying on the shelf,
Dan-doo, dan-doo,
Piece old dry bread laying on the shelf,
Tommy clash, tom clingo.
Piece old dry bread laying on the shelf,
If you want any dinner you can cook it yourself,
Derry black daggo.
