*Oh my, oh my, what a wretched life
I was born on the day that my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly with a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig with the drunk midwife
Who's that yonder all in flames?
Dragging behind him a sack of chains
Who's that yonder all in flames?
Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim on me*
