The Devil & The Feathery Wife - Martin Carthy

Now there was an old farmer lived over the hill

And a poor old fellow they say

He was plagued by hunger and a scolding wife

The worst misfortune that day

And as he cut wood in the forest one day

Between dark doom and despair

The devil himself he jumped out of the bush

And he stood before him there

Oh what's the matter the devil he cried

You look so discontent

Haven't you got any money to buy your food

Or to pay your landlord rent

What would you give me the devil he cried

If I should end your debate

And I gave you money and gear enough

So you'd never more want for meat

But I've nothing to give you the old man cried

I've nothing right here to my hand

But if you would do what you say for me

I'll be at your command

Right then I'll make you a bargain the devil he cried

It's a bargain you just couldn't miss

You bring me a beast at seven years end

I'll try to say what it is

But if that beast I name aright

You mark what I do tell

You've got to toddle along with me

For to view the ovens of hell

So the old man prospered and prospered well

It was all gained and spent

Till he come to the end of seven long years

Sorely he did lament

Oh what is the matter his wife she cried

You look so discontent

Sure you've got some silly young girl with child

Making you sore lament

No I've made a bargain with the devil he cried

It was a bargain I just couldn't miss

I've got to bring him a beast at seven years end

He's got to say what it is

But if that beast he names aright

You mark what I do tell

I've got to toddle along with him

For to view the ovens of hell

Oh never you worry his wife she cries

For your cattle your keep or you're feed

For the wit of a woman it comes in handy

At times in an hour of need

Go and fetch me the droppings from all of our chickens

And spread them all over the floor

Stark naked I will strip myself

And I'll roll in it all over and o'er

And fetch me the basket of feathers she cries

Of the beast we had for our tea

And I'll roll and I'll roll all over in them

Until never an inch be free

So she rolled and she rolled in feathers and droppings

From her head down to her navel

By Christ he says what a horrible sight

You look far worse than the devil

Then the devil himself come in

He began to for steam and to hiss

By Christ he said what an awful sight

I'm damned if I know what it is

He started to shake and he started to quake

Saying have you any more of these at home

Yes he cries I've got seven more

That in my forest do roam

If you've got seven more of these beasts

That in your forest do dwell

I'll be as good as my bargain and I'm off home

For she's worse than the demons in hell
