letra de the little devils (1952) - jean ritchie
there was an old man, and he lived near h-ll
he had a little farm and upon it did dwell
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
oh, the devil come to him one day at his plow
there’s one in your family i have to have now
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
oh, it’s neither your son nor your daughter i crave
it’s your old scolding wife, and it’s her i must have
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
so he hobbest her up, all on his back
and like an bold peddler went a-packin’ his pack
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
as they drew near the high gates of h-ll
sang, rake back the coals, boys, and we’ll roast her well
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
oh, two little devils come rattlin’ their chains
she hauled back her cudgel and knocked out their brains
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
two more little devils peeped over the wall
said, take her back daddy, or she’ll k!ll us all
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
so he hobbest her up all his back
and like an bold peddler, went a-packin’ her back
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
here’s your old scoldin’ wife, it’s her i won’t have
she hain’t fit for heaven, she shain’t stay in h-ll
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
oh, it’s seven years goin’, and seven a-comin’ back
she called for the ‘baccer she left in the crack
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
oh, the women they are so much better than men
when they go to h-ll, they get sent back again
sing, hi, a-rattle-ding-day
