[00:15.74]There was an old man who lived over the hill
[00:19.88]If he ain't dead yet he's a living there still
[00:24.10]Yup, yup
[00:31.19]Oh well, the devil come up to him one day
[00:35.09]Said one of your family I'm gonna take away
[00:39.15]Yup, yup

[00:50.90]There's work on the farm that's got to be done
[00:54.55]Yup, yup

[01:05.49]It's your stol'den wife I'm gonna take her away
[01:09.65]Yup, yup
[01:16.82]Now the old man jumped up with a start
[01:20.43]Saying you can take her with all of my heart
[01:24.64]Yup, yup
[01:31.79]So the devil picked her up upon his back
[01:35.85]He looked like an eagle stretched on a rack
[01:39.88]Yup, yup
[01:47.24]And he carried her on 'bout a mile down the road
[01:50.74]Saying oh woman, you're a hell of a load
[01:54.90]Yup, yup

[02:05.95]Saying "Poke up the fire, we'll scorch her well!"
[02:10.15]Yup, yup
[02:17.31]There were two little devils with a ball and chain
[02:21.13]Up with her foot, she kicked out their brains
[02:25.36]Yup, yup
[02:32.55]And nine little devils went climbing up the walls
[02:36.26]Saying take her back, daddy, she'll murder us all
[02:40.21]Yup, yup
[03:02.26]I woke up the next morning, I peeked out of the crack
[03:06.40]I see the old devil just a-dragging her back
[03:10.20]Yup, yup
[03:17.17]Saying here's your wife both sound and well
[03:20.99]If I kept her there longer she'd've torn up hell
[03:25.47]Yup, yup
[03:32.53]Well it only goes to show what a woman can do
[03:36.32]She can whoop up the devil and her husband too
