The divil he says "I have come for your wife" - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey So the divil he hoisted her up on his back And away off to hell, with her he did whack And when at last they came to hell's gates - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 Killiburn Brae - Riful, riful, tidi foldey And when they came back to Killiburn Brae Well the divil he cried and he shouted hooray Says he, me good man, here's your wife safe and well - Riful, riful, tidi foldey 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 - Riful, riful, tidi foldey Which proves that the women are worse than the men When they go down to hell they are thrown out again
