At The Devils Ball

        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.
