Deil's Awa Wi' Th' Exciseman (Original Mix) Lyrics

Deil's Awa Wi' Th' Exciseman (Original Mix) - Ewan MacColl

The deil cam fiddlin through the toun

And danc'd awa wi the Exciseman

 

And ilka wife cries Auld Mahoun

I wish you luck o' the prize man

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

 

We'll mak our maut and we'll brew our drink

We'll laugh sing and rejoice man

 

And monie braw thanks to the meikle black Deil

That danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman

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

 

There's threesome reels there's foursome reels

There's hornpipes and strathspeys man

But the ae best dance ere cam to the land

Was The Deil's Awa wi' the Exciseman'

 

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
