Some say the devil is dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

And joined the British army.

Feed the pigs and milk the cow, milk the cow, milk the cow,

Feed the pigs and milk the cow, so early in the morning.

Tuck your leg up, Paddy, dear. Paddy, dear, I'm over here! Tuck your leg up, Paddy dear,

It's time to stop your yawning

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

And joined the British army.

Katie, she is tall and thin, tall and thin, tall and thin.

Katie, she is tall and thin. She likes a drop of brandy.

Drinks it in the bed at night, drinks it in the bed at night, drinks it in the bed at night.

It makes her nice and randy.

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

And joined the British army.

My man is six foot tall, six foot tall, six foot tall,

My man is six foot tall, he likes his sugar candy.

Goes to bed at six o'clock, goes to bed at six o'clock, goes to bed at six o'clock.

He's lazy, fat and dandy.

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil isdead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

And joined the British army.

My wife, she has a hairy thing, a hairy thing, a hairy thing.

My wife, she has a hairy thing, she showed it to me Sunday.

She bought it in the furrier shop, bought it in the furrier shop, bought it in the furrier shop.

It's going back on Monday.

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead,

Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.

More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again,

And joined the British army.
