[Verse 1]
The deil cam fiddlin' thro' the town
And danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman
And ilka wife cries, "Auld Mahoun
I wish you luck o' the prize, man."

[Chorus]
The deil's awa, the deil's awa
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman
He's danc'd awa, he's danc'd awa
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman

[Verse 2]
We'll mak our maut, and we'll brew our drink
We'll laugh, sing, and rejoice, man
And mony braw thanks to the meikle black deil
That danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman

[Chorus]
The deil's awa, the deil's awa
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman
He's danc'd awa, he's danc'd awa
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman

[Verse 3]
There's threesome reels, there's foursome reels
There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man
But the ae best dance ere came to the land
Was-the deil's awa wi' the Exciseman
