    I’ve heard a few variations on this story. My favorite is the one where the Farmer demands of the Devil “what will you give me to take her back in?” “All I can offer are the wages of sin.” “I’ll take her back Devil. I’ll take her back in, but you must never come bother my family again.” “Well the Devil did curse and the Devil did howl,but he never returned to the man at the plow.”

    • @Giles29

    Love the old songs mr hicks. I love old folk songs and thought you did an awesome job. Thank you. The old songs remind me of growing up in north Carolina. We lived less than an 2 hours from the Atlantic. I'd lay down on a moss covered tree hanging over the pond ( to cool off). And I'd sing to the dangonflies and frogs. Sweet memories of a hot summer day. Thank you.
