Irish folk tune performed by many artists - Killyburn Brea lyrics
rate meThere was an old man from Killyburn Brae
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
There was an old man from Killyburn Brae
And he had a wife was the bane of his days
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol' fol all fol all fol aday
One day this old man he went down to the glen
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
One day this old man he went down to the glen and encountered the devil and said, "how you been?"
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
The Devil said Sir I have come for your wife
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
The Devil says sir I have come for your wife
For I hear she's the pain and torment of your life
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
So the Devil he hoisted her up on his back
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
The Devil he hoisted her up on his back
And took her to Hell on the hump on his back
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
And when they arrived they got to Hell's Gate
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
And when they arrived they got to Hell's Gate
He dropped her right down with a bump on her face
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
When they got there the gate it was shut
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
When they got there the gate it was shut
She kicked up with her boot and she split open his nut
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
She spied to wee devils all tied up in chains
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
She spied two wee devils all tied up in chains
She pick up a stick and she scattered their brains
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
She spied two more devils playing football
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
She spied two more devils playing football
They said take her away or she'll murder us all
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
So the Devil he hoisted her up on his back
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
So the Devil he hoisted her up on his back
He was seven days gone and three days comin' back
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
Says he to the man here's your wife safe and well
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
Says he to the man here's your wife safe and well
For the likes of her Sir we'll not have in Hell
(or)
She's not fit for Heaven and she won't bide in Hell
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
So it's true that the women are worse than the men
Right fol, Right fol, tiddy fol day
So it's true that the women are worse than the men
When there taken to Hell and they're brought back again!
with a right fol all, tiddy fol all, fol, fol all, fol all, fol aday
