Judy Collins - O Daddy Be Gay lyrics

There was an old man who lived under the hill O daddy be gay There was an old man who lived under the hill If he ain't goin' away he'd be livin' there still Daddy be gay if you can be One day the devil came down to his plow O daddy be gay One day the devil came down to his plow Said one of your family I'll have to have now Daddy be gay if you can be O tis not just your son or daughter I crave O daddy be gay Tis not your son or your daughter I crave But your old baggin' wife I'll carry away Daddy be gay if you can be Ah take her away with all of my heart O daddy be gay Take her away with all of my heart And I'll bet the two of you never will part Daddy be gay if you can be The devil he hoisted her up on his back O daddy be gay The devil he hoisted her up on his back And off to hell with her in a pack Daddy be gay if you can be He set her down at the fork in the road O daddy be gay He set her down at the fork in the road He said old woman you're a hell of a load Daddy be gay if you can be Then he carried her down to the gates of hell O daddy be gay He carried her down to the gates of hell Said rake up the coals and we'll roast her well Daddy be gay if you can be One poor little devil looked over the wall O daddy be gay One poor little devil peeked over the wall He said take her home daddy she'll murder us all Daddy be gay if you can be O the devil he hoisted her up on his back O daddy be gay The devil he hoisted her up on his back And home again with her in a pack Daddy be gay if you can be The old woman went a whistlin' over the hill O daddy be gay The old woman went a whistlin' over the hill The devil won't have me I wonder who will Daddy be gay if you can be There is an advantage we have over men O daddy be gay There is an advantage we have over men We can go down to hell and come back again Daddy be gay if you can be
