Tommy Makem - k**yburn Brae lyrics

Is it true that the women are worse than the men? Right fol, right fol, tiddy fol day Is it true that the women are worse than the men? They go down to hell and get kicked out again With me right fol dol, tiddy fol dol Right fol, right fol, tiddy fol day There was an old man lived in k**yburn Brae There was an old man lived in k**yburn Brae And he had a wife, was the plague of his days The devil he came to the man with the plow The devil he came to the man with the plow Said one of your family I will have now Says he, "Me old man, I have come for you wife" Says he, "Me old man, I have come for you wife For I hear she's the plague and torment of your life" The devil he hoisted her up on his back The devil he hoisted her up on his back And straight down to hell with her he did pack There were two little devils a-playing with chains There were two little devils a-playing with chains She lifted her stick and she scattered their brains There were two other devils a-playing at ball There were two other devils a-playing at ball Said "Take her away or she'll murder us all" The devil he hoisted her up on his back The devil he hoisted her up on his back And to the old man, with her he did pack Said he "Me old man, here's your wife safe and well" Said he "Me old man, here's your wife safe and well She wouldn't be kept, not even in hell" So, it's true that the women are worse than the men It's true that the women are worse than the men They go down to hell and get kicked out again
