Farmer's Curst Wife Songtext
von Heather Dale

There was an old farmer, lived over the hill
If he ain′t moved on he's living there still
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
The devil came to him one day, he said:
"One of your kin, I′m gonna take away"
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin' fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day

He said, "please don't take my only son
There′s work on the farm that′s gotta be done;
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Oh, but you can have my nagging wife
I swear by god she's the curse of my life!"
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin′ fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day


So they marched on down to the gates of Hell
He said, "Kick up the fire, boys, we'll roast her well!"
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
So out came a little demon with a spit and chain
But she upped with her foot and she knocked out his brain
Singin′ fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin' fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day

Out came a dozen demons, then a dozen more
But when she was done, they was flat on the floor
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
So all those little demons went scramblin′ up the wall
Saying, "Take her back, Daddy! She'll murder us all!"
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Oh, fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day

So the farmer woke up, he looked out the crack
And he saw that Devil bringin' her back
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
He heard, "here′s your wife, both sound and well
If I kept her any longer, she′d'a tore up Hell"
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin′ fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day


Well y'know that old man jumped, and he bit his tongue
And he ran for the hills in a flat out run
Fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
He was heard to yell, as he ran o′er the hill:
"If the Devil won't have her, be damned if I will!"
Singin′ fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin' fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye day
Singin' fie fie diddle die, fie fie diddle aye, diddle aye day
