Gareth - the song you refer to is a variant of the one I mentioned, as recorded by Burl Ives, in my first post that started this thread. It's pretty amusing, as the farmer's wife manages to terrify the official denizens of hell (the little devils and demons) so much that they demand her removal from the hellish environs, and the Devil has to take her back again to the farmer, who is meanwhile probably getting jolly drunk and celebrating...

It's either called "The Devil and the Farmer" or "The Farmer and the Devil" or else it's called "The Farmer's Wife and the Devil"...
