30 January 08 - 09:39The Deil's Awa Wi' Th' Exciseman
The Deil’s Awa Wi’ Th’ ExcisemanThe Deil’s Awa, the Deil’s Awa,
The Deil’s Awa wi’ th’ Exciseman!
He’s danc’d awa, he danc’d awa,
He danc’d awa wi’ th’ Exciseman!
The Deil cam fiddlin thro’ the town,
And danc’d awa wi’ th’ Exciseman!
And Ilka Wife cries:-‘Auld Mahoun,
I wish ye luck o’ the prize man!
‘We’ll mak our maut, and we’ll brew our
Drink,
We’ll laugh, sing, and rejoice, man,
And monie braw thanks to the meikle
Black Deil,
That danc’d awa wi’ th’ Exciseman!
‘ There’s Threesome reels, There’s
Foursome reel,
There’s hornpipes and strathspeys, man,
But the ae best dance ere cam to the land, Was the Deil’s awa wi’ th’ Exciseman (more)
