Heather Dale - The Farmer's Curst Wife lyrics

There was an old farmer, lived o'er the hill If he aint moved on, he's living there still -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day The devil came to him one day Said, one of your kin, I'm gonna take away -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day Oh, please don't take my only son There's work on the farm, that's gotta be done -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day But you can have my nagging wife I swear by god, she's the curse of my life -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing fie fie diddle die fie fie diddl-ie day So they marched on down to the gates of hell He said, kick on the fire, boys, we'll roast her well -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day Out came a little demon with a spit and chain That she upped with her foot and she knocked out his brain -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day Out came a dozen demons then a dozen more But when she was done they was flat on the floor -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day So all those little demons went scrambling up the wall Saying take her back, daddy, she'll murder us all -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day So the farmer woke up and he looked out the crack And he saw that devil bringing her back -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day Here's your wife both sound and well If I kept her any longer she'd've tore up hell -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day The old man jumped and he bit his tongue Then he ran for the hills in a flat out run -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day He was heard to yell, as he ran o'er the hill If the devil won't have her, 'be damned if I will singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie day singing -fie fie diddle die -fie fie diddl-ie diddl-ie day
