O Daddy Be Gay Lyrics - Judy Collins

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
