[Verse 1]
There was an old man who lived Gunder the Amhill
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
There was an old man who lived under the Dhill
If he Amain’t goin’ away he’d be Glivin’ there still
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 2]
One day the Devil came Gdown to his Amplough
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
One day the Devil came down to his Dplough
Said, "AmOne of your family I’ll Ghave to have now"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 3]
"Oh, tis not just your Gson or daughter I Amcrave"
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
"Tis not your son or your daughter I Dcrave
But your Amold baggin’ wife I’ll Gcarry away"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 4]
"Ah, take her away with Gall of my Amheart"
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
"Take her away with all of my Dheart
And I’ll Ambet the two of you Gnever will part"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 5]
The Devil he hoisted her Gup on his Amback
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
The Devil he hoisted her up on his Dback
And Amoff to Hell with Gher in a pack
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 6]
He set her down at the Gfork in the Amroad
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
He set her down at the fork in the Droad
He Amsaid, "Old woman, you’re a Ghell of a load"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 7]
Then he carried her Gdown to the gates of AmHell
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
He carried her down to the gates of DHell
Said, "AmRake up the coals and we’ll Groast her well"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 8]
One poor little devil looked Gover the Amwall
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
One poor little devil peeked over the Dwall
He said, "AmTake her home daddy, she’ll Gmurder us all"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 9]
Oh, the Devil he hoisted her Gup on his Amback
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
The Devil he hoisted her up on his Dback
And Amhome again with Gher in a pack
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 10]
The old woman went a Gwhistlin’ over the Amhill
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
The old woman went a whistlin’ over the Dhill
"The AmDevil won’t have me, I Gwonder who will"
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
[Verse 11]
There is an advantage we Ghave over Ammen
GO Ddaddy be Amgay
There is an advantage we have over Dmen
We can Amgo down to Hell and Gcome back again
AmDaddy be Dgay if you Amcan be
