The Wife Wrapt in Wether's Skin 
The Wife Wrapt in Wether's Skin 
There was a man lived in the west Dan-doo, Dan-doo There was a man lived in the west
 Dan-doo dan-doo-ah There was a man lived in the west Who had a wife that was none of the best
 Ram jam gil-li-am, Dan-doo-ah 
When this man came in from his plough Says, "Have you got my breakfast now? 
She put a cold slice upon the shelf If you want anymore you must get it yourself 
The man went out to his sheep-fold And caught a wether tough and old 
He threw the skin round his wife's back And that old sheep's hide he did whack 
His wife cried out unto his kin He's beating me on my bare skin 
The man he grinned and he replied I'm only tanning my old sheep's hide.
