the devil's away - the highwaymen (folk) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the devil came fiddlin’ through the town
and he danced away with the taxman
and all of the people cried, “well, old devil
we wished had the luckier prize, man”

[chorus]
the devil’s away, the devil’s away
he danced away with the taxman
it’s many good thanks to that hairy, old devil
that’s taken away the taxman

[verse 2]
we grew our beard, we’ll nip our whiskey
we’ll dance, and we’ll sing and rejoice, man
and many good thanks to that hairy, old devil
that’s taken away the taxman

[chorus]
the devil’s away, the devil’s away
he danced away with the taxman
it’s many good thanks to that hairy, old devil
that’s taken away the taxman

[verse 3]
let’s squeeze some reels, and pour some reels
there’s h*rnpipes, and there’s flames, man
but the very best dance ever came at this time
was the devil’s away with the taxman
[chorus]
the devil’s away, the devil’s away
he danced away with the taxman
it’s many good thanks to that hairy, old devil
that’s taken away the taxman

[outro]
the devil’s away, the devil’s away
he danced away with the taxman
it’s many good thanks to that hairy, old devil (hairy old), devil, devil, devil
that’s taken away the taxman (hey, ho)
