There was an old man who lived near Hell's gate | |
What happened to him I soon will relate | |
The Devil he called upon him one day | |
"Tomorrow one of your family I must take away" ("yea" [laughter]) | |
This put the old man in terrible fright | |
But good mr. Devil soon put him quite right | |
"It's not your eldest son I crave | |
But that damn scolding old bitch of a wife you have-a" | |
So the Devil he carried her off on his back | |
Just like a bold scotsman carrying his pack | |
The Devil he brought her close to Hell's door | |
"Get along in you damn scolding old whore" | |
She saw some young devils all hanging in chains | |
She ripped off her mittens and dashed out their brains [incomprehensible voices] | |
Some more little devils looked over the wall | |
"Take her back daddy she'll murder us all" | |
So the Devil he canted her over Hell's wall | |
She fell on her arse one hell of a fall | |
Which proves that women are worse than the men | |
If they go to hell they get thrown out again |
