There was an old man down by Killiburn Brae
Riteful, riteful, titty folday
There was an old man down by Killiburn Brae
Had a curse of a wife with him most of his days

With me foldoraol dol, titty fol ol
Foldol dol dolda dolder olday

One day as this man he walked out in the glen
Riteful, riteful, titty folday
One day as this man, he walked out in the glen
Well, he met with the divil, says, "How are ye then?"

The divil he says, "I have come for your wife"
Riteful, riteful, titty folday
The divil he says, "I have come for your wife"
For I hear she's the curse and the bane of your life

So the divil he hoisted her up on his back
Riteful, riteful, titty folday
So the divil he hoisted her up on his back
And away off to hell, with her he did pack

And when at last they came to hell's gates
Riteful, riteful, titty folday
And when at last they came to hell's gates
Well she lifted her stick and she battered his pate
