Oh, there's been a woman in our town
A woman you ought know well
She dearly loved her husband
And another man twice as well
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy
She went down to the chemist shop
Some remedies for to buy
Have you anything in your chemist shop
To make me old man blind?
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy
Give him eggs and marrowbones
And make him suck them all
Before he has the last one sucked
He won't see you at all
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall

If in this world I cannot see

But sly enough of Martin
It was him that shoved her in
With me right finnickineerio

She swam through the river
She swam through the brine
"Oh Martin, dear Martin
Don't leave me behind"
"Yerra shut up outa that ye silly aul fool
Ye know poor Martin is blind"
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

And none of them is me own
I wish that each and every man
Would come and claim his own
With me right finnickineerio
