• Robert Burns song:

The deil cam fiddlin' thro' the town,
And danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman, 
And ilka wife cries, "Auld Mahoun, 
I wish you luck o' the prize, man." 
Chorus-The deil's awa, the deil's awa,
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman,
He's danc'd awa, he's danc'd awa, 
He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman.

(See McHugh)
