Artist/Band: Judy Collins
Lyrics for Song: O Daddy Be Gay
Lyrics for Album: Maid Of Constant Sorrow/golden Apples Of Sun [2001]



There was an old man who lived under the hill


O daddy be gay


There was an old man who lived under the hill


If he ain't goin' away he'd be livin' there still


Daddy be gay if you can be





One day the devil came down to his plow


O daddy be gay


One day the devil came down to his plow


Said one of your family I'll have to have now


Daddy be gay if you can be





O tis not just your son or daughter I crave


O daddy be gay


Tis not your son or your daughter I crave


But your old baggin' wife I'll carry away


Daddy be gay if you can be





Ah take her away with all of my heart


O daddy be gay


Take her away with all of my heart


And I'll bet the two of you never will part


Daddy be gay if you can be





The devil he hoisted her up on his back


O daddy be gay


The devil he hoisted her up on his back


And off to hell with her in a pack


Daddy be gay if you can be





He set her down at the fork in the road


O daddy be gay


He set her down at the fork in the road


He said old woman you're a hell of a load


Daddy be gay if you can be





Then he carried her down to the gates of hell


O daddy be gay


He carried her down to the gates of hell


Said rake up the coals and we'll roast her well


Daddy be gay if you can be





One poor little devil looked over the wall





O daddy be gay


One poor little devil peeked over the wall


He said take her home daddy she'll murder us all


Daddy be gay if you can be





O the devil he hoisted her up on his back


O daddy be gay


The devil he hoisted her up on his back


And home again with her in a pack


Daddy be gay if you can be





The old woman went a whistlin' over the hill


O daddy be gay


The old woman went a whistlin' over the hill


The devil won't have me I wonder who will


Daddy be gay if you can be





There is an advantage we have over men


O daddy be gay


There is an advantage we have over men


We can go down to hell and come back again


Daddy be gay if you can be
