Yup David Rawlings

There was an old man who lived over the hill
If he ain't dead yet, he's a-living there still
Yup, yup

Oh well, the devil come up to him one day
Said, "One of your family, I'm gonna take away"
Yup, yup

Well, please don't take my eldest son
There's work on the farm that's got to be done
Yup, yup

Well it's-a not your eldest son I crave
It's your stol'den wife, I'm gonna take her away
Yup, yup

Now the old man jumped up with a start
Saying "You can take her with all of my heart"
Yup, yup

So the devil picked her up upon his back
He looked like an eagle stretched on a rack
Yup, yup

And he carried her on 'bout a mile down the road
Saying "Oh woman, you're a hell of a load"
Yup, yup
