    The Cobbler & the Tinker
    (Tapping your foot sing)
    Merry we are and merry we'll be
    Said the Cobbler to the Tinker
    Cobbler Tin take care
    Said the Cobbler to the tinker
    You'll sing Cobb and you'll sing leir
    Youll sing tin and youll take care
    Of the cobler and the tinker
    You'll sing black and you'll sing blue
    youll sing starch and you'll sing too
    Said the cobbler and the tinker
    (Start at Cobbleir again) Cob leir tin take care etc;
    youd answer at "cob" or you go down and get a blow.
    Etne Conway got this from Tom McKeon, Ballivor. He is about seventy.
