Patrick Sky - Farmer's Cursed Wife lyrics

Now, there once was a farmer, he lived near Hell He had a little farm, and on he did dwell Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, the Devil came up to him one day One of your family I must take away Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Oh, please don't take my eldest son There's work on the farm that's a gotta be done Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Oh, it's not your son or your daughter I crave It's your rotten old wife, it's her I must have Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Oh, take her, oh take her, with all my heart Take her, please take her, and quickly depart Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Well, he threw the old woman all on his back And off to Hell he went clickety clack Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a And as they pa**ed by the forks of the road He said, "Damn, old woman, you're a Helluva load" Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, as the approached the high gates of Hell He said, "Sharp the coals, we'll roast her well" Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, two little devils came draggin' the chains She up with her right foot, kicked out their brains Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Well, two little devils peeked out from the door She up with her left, k**ed ninety-nine more Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Well, two little devils peeked over the wall, said Take her home Daddy, she'll murder us all Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, he threw the old woman all on his back He was seven years comin', seven days goin' back Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a They found the old man asleep in bed She up with a bu*terstick, paddled his head Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, here's your wife all safe and well If I'd a kept her much longer, she'd a torn up Hell Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, I've been a devil most all my life I never knew Hell till I met your wife Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a Now, this proves women are worse than men They go down to Hell, get throwed out again Dum-a-fi diddle-ly diddle-ly-fi, diddle-ly diddle-ly-a
