There's a place by the woods, up on the hill Looking over at the liffey It's hidden away, a secret den just outside Dublin City A house of sin and debauchery For many a year gone by Women, drinkin', gamblin' or anything you might try Oh welcome to the Hellfire Club, the Hellfire Club
The story goes that on one night A game of cards was played A knock on the door and entered in A man of wealth in spades He stayed and played one hell of a game But when one card fell loose Upon bending down a player saw The stranger's feet were hooves Oh welcome to the Hellfire Club, the Hellfire Club
The devil's at the head of the table Don't run 'cos you wont be able If you enter, you'll never leave Your soul, you'll never retrieve
Another one goes that a farmer boy went to sneak a peak Curiosity got a hold of him, his self control was weak He was found and suddenly dragged inside and when he reappeared His hair was white with the fright, he was deaf and dumb with fear Oh welcome to the Hellfire Club, the Hellfire Club I said, yeah welcome to the Hellfire Club, the Hellfire Club Fais ce que tu voudras, they said, do what you want Fais ce que tu voudras, at the Hellfire Club
