In the town of Ballybay
There lived a lass a-dwellin'
I knew her very well.
Her story's worth the tellin'
Her father kept a still,
He was a good distiller
But when she took to drink,
Sure the devil wouldn't fill her

With me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio

And she had a wooden leg,
It was hollow in the middle
She tied a bit of string on it
And play it like the fiddle
She fiddled in the hall,
She fiddled in the alleyway
She didn't give a d___,
She had to fiddle anyway

Me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio

She said she couldn't dance
Until she had her wellies on
But when she had 'em on
She'd dance as well as anyone
She wouldn't go to bed,
Til she had her shimmy on
But when she had it on
She'd go to bed with anyone

Me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio

She had lovers by the score,
Every Tom, d___ and Harry
She was courting night and day,
But still she wouldn't marry
And then she fell in love
With a fella with a stammer
He tried to run away,
She hit him with a hammer

With me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio

She had children up the stairs,
Children in the brier
Another ten or twelve
Sittin' roaring by the fire
She fed them on some spuds,
Soup made of nettles,
Lumps of hairy bacon
That she boiled up in the kettle

With me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio

Well she led a sheltered life,
Eating porrige and black puddin'
She terrorised her man
Til he up and died right sudden
When her husband died
She was feeling kinda sorry
She rolled him in a bag
And she threw him in a quarry

With me ring a ting a tong
Me ring a ting a tabbio
Me ring a ting a tong
Me whack fol da tabbio
