[Verse 1]
I had a Dmdream, last night,
That filled me Dmfull of fright:
I dreamt that DmI was with the Devil, below,
In his Cgreat big fiery hall,
Where the FDevil was giving a ball.
I checked my Dmcoat and hat
And started Dmgazing at
The merry Dmcrowd that came to witness the show;
And I Gmust confess to you.
There were Cmany there I C7knew.
[Chorus]
At the FDevil's Ball,
At the CDevil's Ball
I saw the Ccute Missus Devil, so Fpretty and fat,
CDress'd in a beautiful Ffireman's hat;
GEphraham, the Leader man, who led the band last Cfall,C7  
He play'd the music at the FDevil's Ball,
In the CDevil's hall,
I saw the Cfunniest devil that FI ever saw
CTaking the tickets from Ffolks at the door;
A#I caught a Aglimpse of my Dmmother-in-lGaw
GDancing with the CDevil,
GOh! the little CDevil,
GDancing at the CDevil's FBall.
[Verse 2]
The Devil's DmPa and Ma
Were standing Dmat the bar,
Conversing Dmwith the little fellow who first
Put the Cpain in champagne wine,
They were Fpouring it out in a stein
I bought a Dmround of ice
For ev'ryDmbody twice,
It wasn't Dmlong before I ordered a fan;
And Gbefore the break of dawn
I put my Covercoat in C7pawn.
[Chorus]
At the FDevil's Ball,
At the CDevil's Ball
I saw the Ccute Missus Devil, so Fpretty and fat,
CDress'd in a beautiful Ffireman's hat;
GEphraham, the Leader man, who led the band last Cfall,C7  
He play'd the music at the FDevil's Ball,
In the CDevil's hall,
I saw the Cfunniest devil that FI ever saw
CTaking the tickets from Ffolks at the door;
A#I caught a Aglimpse of my Dmmother-in-lGaw
GDancing with the CDevil,
GOh! the little CDevil,
GDancing at the CDevil's FBall.

[Verse 1]

I had a dream, last night,

That filled me full of fright:

I dreamt that I was with the Devil, below,

In his great big fiery hall,

Where the Devil was giving a ball.

I checked my coat and hat

And started gazing at

The merry crowd that came to witness the show;

And I must confess to you.

C C7

There were many there I knew.

[Chorus]

At the Devil's Ball,

At the Devil's Ball

C F

I saw the cute Missus Devil, so pretty and fat,

C F

Dress'd in a beautiful fireman's hat;

G C C7

Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last fall,

He play'd the music at the Devil's Ball,

In the Devil's hall,

C F

I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw

C F

Taking the tickets from folks at the door;

A# A Dm G

I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law

G C

Dancing with the Devil,

G C

Oh! the little Devil,

G C F

Dancing at the Devil's Ball.

[Verse 2]

The Devil's Pa and Ma

Were standing at the bar,

Conversing with the little fellow who first

Put the pain in champagne wine,

They were pouring it out in a stein

I bought a round of ice

For ev'rybody twice,

It wasn't long before I ordered a fan;

And before the break of dawn

C C7

I put my overcoat in pawn.

[Chorus]

At the Devil's Ball,

At the Devil's Ball

C F

I saw the cute Missus Devil, so pretty and fat,

C F

Dress'd in a beautiful fireman's hat;

G C C7

Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last fall,

He play'd the music at the Devil's Ball,

In the Devil's hall,

I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw

A# A Dm G

I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
