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

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.

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.

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...
