La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un vieil homme qui vit sous une colline et se retrouve confronté à un diable exigeant. Ce dernier vient réclamer un membre de sa famille, mais finalement, c’est la femme du vieil homme qui est emportée. Au fil des strophes, on découvre un échange entre le diable et l’homme, où l’humour et la légèreté ressortent malgré le sujet sombre. Le refrain encourage le père à "être gai", suggérant une façon de faire face à l’adversité avec humour et résilience. Dans ce récit, il y a une petite touche de folklore, avec des éléments du fantastique où le diable est un personnage comique plutôt que terrifiant. L'histoire tourne autour de la famille, de l'amour, des pertes et de la manière dont l'on peut faire face à des situations difficiles de manière imaginative et pleine de légèreté. C’est un mélange de folklore et de satire qui illustre bien les relations humaines.
