there's a place by the woods
looking over at the liffey
a secret den just outside dublin city
a house of sin and debauchery
gamblin' or anything you might try
oh welcome to 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 devil's at the head of the table
don't run 'cos you wont be able
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
yeah welcome to the hellfire club
