The Devil And The Farmer's Wife Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]There was an old farmer went
out to plow
With sixteen oxen and a cock
-eyed cow
And a hi diddle hi diddle hi fi
diddle hi diddle hi fi
Well the devil he come to that farmer one
day
If there's one in your family I
will take away
With a hi diddle hi diddle hi fi
diddle hi diddle hi fi
Oh says the farmer now
I am undone
The devil must have come from my oldest son
With a hi diddle hi diddle hi fi
diddle hi diddle hi fi
Oh no says the devil it isn't your son
Your old nagging wife she's
the very one
With a ha -di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
Di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
So the devil, carried the wife down the load.
He said to her, ma 'am, you're a heck
of a load.
With a ha -di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
Di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
Then 12 little devils
came dragging some chains.
She reached out her foot
and kicked out all their brains.
With a ha -di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
Di -da -la -di -da -la -fi.
Wells of the devil, heist our pi.
She reached out her foot,
and she kicked nine in the fire.
With a ha diddle -a diddle -a fa
diddle -a diddle -a fa
So five little devils
jumped over the wall
Saying, take her back,
daddy, she'll murder us all
With a ha diddle -a diddle -a fa
diddle -a diddle -a fa
So the devil, took her up on his
back
And back to the farm
and went snapity -crack
With a ha diddle -a diddle -a fa
diddle -a diddle -a fa
And that's why the women
have it over the men
They've been with the devil,
they come back again
With a ha diddle -a diddle -a fa
diddle -a diddle -a fa
