Diddle 'em Darby

(Kipper Family)



Well, Darby is me name, sir.

I've travelled the country round.

I never takes a penny

When I can take a pound, singin'



I diddled 'em, Darby,

I diddled 'em all.

I diddled 'em Darby,

I diddled 'em great and small.



Well, when I kept an inn, sir

I had a merry time.

I watered all the beer, sir

And likewise with the wine, singin'



For, beer, it makes you healthy

And water makes you hale.

I did them all a kindness

By serving Adam's ale, singin'



When I kept the shop, sir

I kept me message short.

I had to keep me customers

From eating more than they ought, singin'



I charged them double prices

And kept it in the tin.

For money's the root of evil and so

I saved them all from sin, singin'



Well once I rode a stage coach

And never paid me fare.

I jumped down from the box, sir

When we was nearly there, singin'



The horses were so tired, sir

From pullin' their heavy load

I did them all a kindness

By jumping in the road, singin'



Well, now me song is ended

And every word is true,

And if you believe me

Then I've diddled you, singin'
