The Dubliners - k**ieburne Brae lyrics

There was an old man down by k**iburn Brae Riteful, riteful, titty folday There was an old man down by k**iburn Brae Had a curse of a wife with him most of his days With me foldoraol dol, titty fol ol Foldol dol dolda dolder olday One day as this man he walked out in the glen Riteful, riteful, titty folday One day as this man, he walked out in the glen Well, he met with the divil, says, "How are ye then?" The divil he says, "I have come for your wife" Riteful, riteful, titty folday The divil he says, "I have come for your wife" For I hear she's the curse and the bane of your life So the divil he hoisted her up on his back Riteful, riteful, titty folday So the divil he hoisted her up on his back And away off to hell, with her he did pack And when at last they came to hell's gates Riteful, riteful, titty folday And when at last they came to hell's gates Well she lifted her stick and she battered his pate There were two little divils there tied up in chains Riteful, riteful, titty folday There were two little divils there tied up in chains Well she lifted her stick and she scattered their brains There were two other divils there roaring like bulls Riteful, riteful, titty folday There were two other divils there roaring like bulls And she lifted her stick and she battered their skulls There were two other divils there playing at ball Riteful, riteful, titty folday There were two other divils there playing at ball She lifted her stick and she battered them all So the divil he hoisted her up on his back Riteful, riteful, titty folday So the divil he hoisted her up on his back They were seven years coming and days going back And when they came back to k**iburn Brae Riteful, riteful, titty folday And when they came back to k**iburn Brae Well the divil he capered and he shouted hooray Says he, me good man, here's your wife safe and well Riteful, riteful, titty folday Says he, me good man, here's your wife safe and well For the likes of herself we would not have in hell Which proves that the women are worse than the men Riteful, riteful, titty folday Which proves that the women are worse than the men When they go down to hell they are thrown out again
