Devil's Plough Woman
The Devil's Plough Woman
I know an old couple that lived near Hell
If they're not dead they're living there still
The Devil he came to the man in the plow
I've come for one of your family now
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
Oh which of my family do you you like best
Your scolding old wife it's she I like best
Take all away with all of my heart
I hope the two of you never need part
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
The Devil he hoisted her onto his back
No pedlar was ever so proud of his pack
He's carried her off "till they came to Hell's wall
She's out with her boot and she's flattened it all
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
Some devils come down to put her in a sack
She's out with her boot and she's \broken their backs
The devils cried out from up on the wall
Take her home, daddy, she'll murder us all
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
He's carried her home in a tenth of the time
Take her back, farmer, I'm changing my mind
What'll you give me for taking her in
I offer no more than the wages of sin
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
If you want to be rid of this scolding old hen
You'll never bedevil my family again
The Devil did cry, the devil did howl
But he never returned to the man at the plow
A whack fol day falickity fol de dol day
