Dm
I had a dream, last night,
Dm
That filled me full of fright:
Dm
I dreamt that I was with the Devil, below,
C
In his great big fiery hall,
F
Where the Devil was giving a ball.
Dm
I checked my coat and hat
Dm
And started gazing at
Dm
The merry crowd that came to witness the show;
G
And I must confess to you.
C C7
There were many there I knew.
[Chorus]
F
At the Devil's Ball,
C
At the Devil's Ball
C F
I saw the cute Missus Devil, so pretty and fat,
C F
Dress'd in a beautiful fireman's hat;
G C C7
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last fall,
F
He play'd the music at the Devil's Ball,
C
In the Devil's hall,
C F
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
C F
Taking the tickets from folks at the door;
A# A Dm G
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
G C
Dancing with the Devil,
G C
Oh! the little Devil,
G C F
Dancing at the Devil's Ball.
[Verse 2]
Dm
The Devil's Pa and Ma
Dm
Were standing at the bar,
Dm
Conversing with the little fellow who first
C
Put the pain in champagne wine,
F
They were pouring it out in a stein
Dm
I bought a round of ice
Dm
For ev'rybody twice,
Dm
It wasn't long before I ordered a fan;
G
And before the break of dawn
C C7
I put my overcoat in pawn.
[Chorus]
F
At the Devil's Ball,
C
At the Devil's Ball
C F
I saw the cute Missus Devil, so pretty and fat,
C F
Dress'd in a beautiful fireman's hat;
G C C7
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last fall,
F
He play'd the music at the Devil's Ball,
C
In the Devil's hall,
C F
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
C F
Taking the tickets from folks at the door;
A# A Dm G
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
G C
Dancing with the Devil,
G C
Oh! the little Devil,
G C F
Dancing at the Devil's Ball.
