The Devil and the Farmer's Wife

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
