_ _ _ _ Oh, there was an old farmer in Sussex, he dwelt
[G] He [Cm] _ [D] _ had an old wife he [Dm] didn't love well
With me, [D] whip, palay, paligody, falder on thee
And the devil, he come to the farmer at plough
[G] Say, [D] _ _ what are you, family, I got [Dm] a hat now
With me, whip, [G] palay, [D] paligody, falder on thee
Oh, see, [G] Mr.
Farmer, I come for your wife
I [D] _ _
hear she's the pain and [Dm] torment of your life
With me, whip, [G] palay, [D] paligody, falder on thee
Oh, take her, oh, take her with all of my heart
[G] [D] I _ _ hope that [Dm] you and she never shall part
With me, whip, palay, [D] paligody, falder on thee
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ So [D] the devil, he hoisted [G] her up [Dm] on his back
_ Delta, _ _ how lean has gone with her
Crack, with [G] me, whip, [F] palay, paligody, [Dm] falder on thee
There were [G] two little devils a-playing [Dm] in chains
[G] _
[F] _ _ [D] She up with her foot, she clattered their brains
With me, [G] whip, [F] palay, paligody, falder [D] on thee
[G] There were two little devils a [D]-playing at ball
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] _
[C] Oh, take her away, father, she'll murder [D] us all
With [Em] me, whip, palay, [D] paligody, falder on [G] thee
_ [C] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ So [Dm] the devil, he hoisted her back on his back
[C] _ _ [Dm] _
Delta, the farmer, he's come with her
Crack, with [Am] me, whip, palay, paligody, falder on thee
[D] There were nine days going and one coming back
[G] _ _ _ [D] Delta, the farmer, he's come [Dm] with her
Crack, with me, whip, palay, [C] paligody, [D] falder on thee
Oh, I've been a tormentor for most of my life
[G] But _ [Dm] I never knew how to lie back with you
Whip, with me, [G] whip, palay, paligody, falder on thee
This shows that the [D] women do better than men
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ [C] They go to hell, they [D] get sent back [G] again
Whip, with me, whip, palay, [D] paligody, falder on [G] thee
