Some Say the Devil is Dead

notes:
historical: Killarney is a town in county Kerry in the southwest of Ireland. It's a great, great town. Can't say enough about Killarney. Jenn-at-Xceed agrees. And in case you haven't figured it out by now, there is a sort of Irish-British antagonism. Otherwise this is just a fun bawdy drinking song.
CDs/MP3s: Another one the Prodigals never recorded. Pretty killer how they play it, though.
special Prodigals info:There are lots and lots of verses to this song, and it's sung a million different ways, but Ray usually keeps to the following verses, though he frequently messes them up, then pretends he didn't. Hi Ray! We love you anyway, Ray! ::hugs:: You can also usually count on him to make a few knowing eyebrow raises at strategic points.

chorus: Some say the Devil is dead
Devil is dead
Devil is dead
Some say the Devil is dead
And buried in Killarney.
I say he rose again
I say he rose again
I say he rose again
And joined the British Army.

1. "Feed the pigs and milk the cows,
Milk the cows
Milk the cows
Feed the pigs and milk the cows
Early in the morning.
Cock your leg, Paddy dear
Paddy dear I'm over here
Cock your leg, Paddy dear
It's time to stop your yawning."

chorus

2. My wife she has a hairy thing
Hairy thing
Hairy thing
My wife she has a hairy thing
She showed it to me on Sunday.
She bought it at a furrier's shop,
She bought it at a furrier's shop,
She bought it at a furrier's shop,
It's going back on Monday.

chorus

3. My one's she over six feet tall
Six feet tall
Six feet tall
My one's she over six feet tall
She likes the sugar candy.
Goes to bed at six o'clock
Goes to bed at six o'clock
Goes to bed at six o'clock
It makes her rather randy.
