tim obrien - the farmer's cursed wife lyrics
well there was an old man who lived by the mill
if he ain’t moved away he’s a livin’ there still
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
well the devil he came to the field one day
said it’s your old woman i’m a gonna take away
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
oh take her oh take her with all of my heart
and i hope to my soul that you’ll never never part
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
well he took the old lady all up in a sack
and off to h-ll they went clickety clack
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
well they got her on down about half of the road
says old lady you’re a devil of a load
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
when he got her on down to the gates of h-ll
says punch up the fire, gonna scorch her well
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
nine little devils come a draggin’ a chain
she took it away and she knocked out their brains
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
ten little devils went a climbin’ the wall
sayin’ take her back daddy she’s a murderin’ us all
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
well she found the old man lying late in the bed
she picked up the b-tter stick and paddled his head
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
away she went whistilin’ over the hill
if the devil won’t have me i wonder who will
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
well that goes to show you what a woman will do
she’s worse than the devil and she’s worse than you
singing fie diddle-eye diddle-eye dye, diddle-eye diddle-eye day
