The Devil and the Farmer’s Wife - Gryphon

There was an old man who lived near hell's gate
What happened to him I soon will relate
The devil he called upon him one day
This put the old man in terrible fright
But good mr
Devil soon put him quite right
It's not your eldest son I crave
But that d**n scolding old b***h of a wife you have a
So the devil he carried her off on his back
Just like a bold scotsman carrying his pack
The devil he brought her close to hell's door
Get along in you d**n scolding old w***e
She saw some young devils all hanging in chains
Some more little devils looked over the wall
Take her back daddy she'll murder us all
So the devil he canted her over hell's wall
She fell on her arse one hell of a fall
Which proves that women are worse than the men
If they go to hell they get thrown out again
