Thread Name: Lyr Req: Some Say the Devil's Dead /...Deil's Deid
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some say the devil is dead
Note that the pronunciation is de'il, that is, deel. Also, the folk tradition made it, in my family, "buried in Kirkcaldy "(which is in Scotland) And the last line reads, instead of "joined the british army", danced the Hieland (some dance name)
