hobart smith – the devil and the farmer’s wife lyrics
there was an old man who owned a large farm
and a+had an old horse that plows his corn
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
he hooked up the sow and the cow to the plow
he tilled the land, the devil knows how
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
the old devil come to the old man one day, says
“one of your family i’ll sure take away”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
he said to the wife, “i’m sure we are done, ’cause
devil has come for our oldеst son”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+oo+diddle+a+dee!
“it’s not your oldеst son i crave, but
old scoldin’ wife i’ll sure take away”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
“you can take her away with all my heart
i hope from h+ll she never does part”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
he picked her up all on his back, and
all to h+ll they went a+cl!ckady+clack
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
he set her down at the forks of the road
he said, “old gal, you’re a terrible load”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
he took’er on down to old h+ll’s gate, and
there [he made?] the old gal walked straight
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
then two little devils come a+rattlin’ her chain
she off with her slippers and knocked out their brains
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
then one little devil come a+climbin’ the walls, said
“take her back, daddy, she’s gon’ burden us all”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
so ’devil picked her up all on his back, and
like an old fool he went a+lugin’ her back
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
the old man was layin’ sick in the bed, and
she took the b+tter stick and paddled his head
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+oo+diddle+a+dee!
the old man was a+layin’, peepin’ through the crack, and
saw the old devil come a+luggin’ her back
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
he said to the boy, “you’re bound for a curse, she’s
been to h+ll++she’s ten times worse”
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+o+diddle+a+dee!
it proves that the women is worse than the men
for they been to h+ll, come back again
and a fi+, fi+, diddle+a+dee, diddle+a+diddle+a+dee!
