The Divil And The Farmer- Burl Ives (IL) 1955 REC
A farmer was plowing his field one day,
Rightful, rightful, ditty fie day,
A farmer was plowing his field one day,
When the devil came up and to him and did say,
With a right fa-la, ditty fie day,
Rightful, rightful, ditty fie day.
See here my good man I've come for your wife
