O Daddy Be Gay lyrics

There was an old man who lived under the hill

O daddy be gay

There was an old man who lived under the hill

If he ain't goin? away he?d be livin? there still

Daddy be gay if you can be

One day the devil came down to his plow

O daddy be gay

One day the devil came down to his plow

Said one of your family I'll have to have now

Daddy be gay if you can be

O tis not just your son or daughter I crave

O daddy be gay

Tis not your son or your daughter I crave

But your old baggin? wife I'll carry away

Daddy be gay if you can be

Ah take her away with all of my heart

O daddy be gay

Take her away with all of my heart

And I'll bet the two of you never will part

Daddy be gay if you can be

The devil he hoisted her up on his back

O daddy be gay

The devil he hoisted her up on his back

And off to hell with her in a pack

Daddy be gay if you can be

He set her down at the fork in the road

O daddy be gay

He set her down at the fork in the road

He said old woman you're a hell of a load

Daddy be gay if you can be

Then he carried her down to the gates of hell

O daddy be gay

He carried her down to the gates of hell

Said rake up the coals and we?ll roast her well

Daddy be gay if you can be

One poor little devil looked over the wall

O daddy be gay

One poor little devil peeked over the wall

He said take her home daddy she?ll murder us all

Daddy be gay if you can be

O the devil he hoisted her up on his back

O daddy be gay

The devil he hoisted her up on his back

And home again with her in a pack

Daddy be gay if you can be

The old woman went a whistlin? over the hill

O daddy be gay

The old woman went a whistlin? over the hill

The devil won't have me I wonder who will

Daddy be gay if you can be

There is an advantage we have over men

O daddy be gay

There is an advantage we have over men

We can go down to hell and come back again

Daddy be gay if you can be
