The Devil's Away
THE DEVIL'S AWAY
The de'il cam fiddlin through the toon
And danced awa' wi' th' exciseman
And ilka wife cried, "old Mulhoon
I wish ya luck wi' yer prize man"
The de'il's awa', the de'il's awa'
The de'il's awa' wi' th' exciseman
He's danced awa', he's danced awa'
He's danced awa' wi' th' exciseman
We'll mak oor malt, we'll brew oor ale
We'll laugh, sing and rejoice, man
We'll drink a toast to the muckle black de'il
That's danced awa' wi' th' exciseman
There's threesome, reels, there's foursome reels
There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man
But the best dance that's cam to our land
Is the de'il's awa' wi' th' exciseman
