| 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» |
| 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 |
| 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 |
