There's a million threads on the quoted link, so I'll just ask this question and maybe if it's the right one you'd find it on the Digitrad: is it this one:

Oh they say that the women are worse than the men
Rifle, rifle, tiddy-fie day
For one went down to hell and was sent back again
With a rifle-eh, tiddy-fie day, rifle, rifle, tiddy-fie day...

I mostly know this song as "Killyburn Braes" entries for this popular song. Note the useful contribution from Malcolm Douglas (if I remember correctly) at the Devil and the Plough thread.

Jean Ritchie had a nice version where she whistles as well as singing.

Some versions of THE DEVIL AND THE FARMER'S WIFE end with a verse that goes:

Now that shows that the women are worse than the men.
They can go down to Hell and come back again.

Follow the link to one version; then that page links to other versions.

Do you mean 'Men Smart Women Smarter'

Let us put man and woman together
To find which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
The women got the men beat long ago.

Cho
Not me, but the people they say
That the man has always le the woman astray
But I say, please listen while I say
Smarter then the man in every way.

Calypso
John
