Old She-Crab Well the old she-crab was a-sittin' on a post Shallow-who, shallow-who Well the old she-crab was a-sittin' on a post When along came a fisherman And took her home to roost Sing ring-a-la ding-a-la doo When he got home the woman was asleep Shallow-who, shallow-who When he got home the woman was asleep So he put it in the pisspot There for to keep The old woman got up for to do her due Shallow-who, shallow-who The old woman got up for to do her due And the damned old she crab Grabbed her by the flue What ho!, said the woman as sure as you are born Shallow-who, shallow-who What ho!, said the woman as sure as you are born There's a devil in the pisspot Stickin' up his horn She tossed the crab in the old man's bed Shallow-who, shallow-who She tossed the crab in the old man's bed And it bit out a chunk Of the old man's head The old she crab scuttled off to the sea Shallow-who, shallow-who The old she crab scuttled off to the sea Said I may get caught But they'll never eat me See also The Crayfish BR
