From Mrs. Laura Timmons
Edith Walker

repeat
(There was an old man lived in the West,
dan - u, dan - u,
There was an old man lived in the west,
Umphy - doodle - u - dan - u.)
There was an old man lived in the West,
Had him a wife, whe was none of the best,
To my harem - garem - girem - larem
Umphy - doodle - u - dan - u.

repeat
(The old man jumped into the sheep-pen, dan - u,
dan - u,
The old man man jumped in the sheep-pen, 
Umphy - doodle - u - dan - u.
And out he came with a mutton skin,)
To my harem - garem - girem - larem
Umphy - doodle - u - dan - u.

repeat
(He tacked the sheep skin to his wife's back,
dan - u, dan - u
He tacked the sheep skin to his wife's back,
Umphy - doodle - u - dan - u.)
(And the way he made the hickory crack,
To my harem - garem - girem - larem
He tacked the sheep skin to his wife's back.)
