SOME SAY THE DEVIL IS DEAD
(S. McCarthy, D. Warfield/Skin Music)

(Chorus)
Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,
Some say the devil is dead, and buried in Killarney.
More say he rose again, more say he rose again,
More say he rose again and joined the British army.

Feed the pigs and milk the cow, and milk the cow, and milk the cow,
Feed the pigs and milk the cow and early in the morning.
Cock(?) your leg O Paddy dear, Paddy dear I'm over here,
Cock(?) your leg O Paddy dear, it's time to stop your yawnin'.
(Chorus)

Katie she is tall and thin, she's tall and thin, and tall and thin,
Katie she is tall and thin and likes a drop of brandy
Drinks it in the beddy (?) straight, drinks it in the beddy straight
Drinks it in the beddy straight, it makes her nice and randy
(Chorus)

Diddle dee die, dee dum dee die, dee…..

My man is six foot tall, he's six foot tall, he's six foot tall
My man is six foot tall, he like his jug of candy
Goes to bed at six o'clock, goes to bed at six o'clock
Goes to bed at six o'clock, he's lazy fat and bandy (?)
(Chorus)

The wife she has a hairy thing, hairy thing, hairy thing.
The wife she has a hairy thing, she showed it to me Sunday
She bought it in a furrier's shop, furrier's shop, furrier's shop.
She bought it in a furrier's shop, it's going back on Monday.
(Chorus)
