That's the beauty of this song. It starts almost cartoonish with the whole
"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"
and the devil bit but then at the end it's really quite chilling:
"Up jumped the Devil and he took my soul from me"
and
"Down we go
For Eternity"
