Old Song
“O my name is Dick Pielow the cobler,”
O my name is Dick Pielow the cobler,
And I travel from Comer to Clough,
And there is not an old man in my travels,
Could beat me at a shoemaking job.Chorus
With my twick twick too - loorl - al - adi,
My whack fol - the - dol - ol - the - dol - é,
I rolled it all over and ready,
With my wax-end and cord on my knee.O my father was hung for sheep stealing,
My mother was burned as a witch,
And my daughter a darlint housekeeper,
Could never assemble a stitch.(continues on next page)
