The Devil And The Ploughman - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]
There was an old farmer in sussex did dwell[00:00:05]
And he'd a bad wife as many knew well[00:00:09]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:00:12]
The devil he come to the old man at plough[00:00:16]
Saying one of your family i must have now[00:00:20]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:00:22]
Now it isn't for you nor yet for your son[00:00:27]
But that scolding old wife as you've got at home[00:00:31]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:00:33]
Oh take her oh take her with all of me heart[00:00:38]
And i wish she and you never more part[00:00:42]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:00:44]
So the devil he took the old wife on his back[00:00:48]
And lugged her along like a pedlar's pack[00:00:53]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:00:55]
He trudged along till he reached his front gate[00:01:00]
Says here take in an old sussex chap's mate[00:01:04]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:01:06]
There was thirteen imps all dancing in chains[00:01:11]
She up with her pattens and beat our their brains[00:01:15]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:01:17]
Well two more little devils jumped over the wall[00:01:22]
Saying turn her out father she'll murder us all[00:01:27]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:01:28]
So he bundled her up on his back again[00:01:33]
And to her old husband he took her again[00:01:38]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:01:39]
Well i've been a tormentor the whole of me life[00:01:44]
But i was never tormented till i met your wife[00:01:49]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:01:51]
And now to conclude and make an end[00:01:55]
You see that the women is worse than the men[00:02:00]
If they get sent to hell they get kicked back again[00:02:02]
To me fal-de-ral little law-day[00:02:04]
