GUEST,Håvard Lyr Req: killy born brae or killy burn brae (17) Lyr Add: KELLYBURN BRAES 13 Mar 00


Here's yet another

Thair wis an auld carle on Kellyburn Braes
(ritefal, ritefal, tittie fal day)
Thair wis an auld carle on Kellyburn Braes
He mairriet a wife an he rued the day
(wi ma right falal, tittie falal, ritefal, ritefal, tittie falay)

Ae day the auld fairmer wis haudin the plou
Ae day the auld fairmer wis haudin the plou
Whan up jumps Auld Nick an says "Hou dae ye do?"

Says the Deil tae the fairmer, "A've come for yer wife"
Says the Deil tae the fairmer, "A've come for yer wife"
"For A hear she's the bane an the curse o yer life"

At this the auld fairmer he dances a reel
At this the auld fairmer he dances a reel
Cryin, "Tak her, O, tak her, O, tak her tae Hell"

The Deil he humphs her up oan his back
The Deil he humphs her up oan his back
Whan thae landit in Hell, lat her doun wi a crack

Thair wis seiven wee devils were hingin in chains
Thair wis seiven wee devils were hingin in chains
She picked up a stick an she scattert thair brains

The ither wee devils aa stertit tae bawl
The ither wee devils aa stertit tae bawl
"O, tak her back, daddie, she'll murder us aa"

Sae the Devil he humphs her again oan his back
Sae the Devil he humphs her again oan his back
Whan he got tae the top, flung her doun wi a crack

He says, "A've been a Devil for maist o ma life
He says, "A've been a Devil for maist o ma life
But a ne'er wis in Hell tae A met wi yer wife

Nou, it's true that the women is worse than the men
Nou, it's true that the women is worse than the men
For thae gang doun tae Hell an get flung out again!

Håvard
