The Devil Went Down to the White House
(A parody of Devil Went down to GA by Charlie Daniels and The Mountain Whippoorwill by Stephen Vincent Benet. This was written during the Corona Virus epidemic of 2020.)
Well, the Devil went down to the White House
He’s always looking for souls to steal
He’s in a Corona-bind ‘cause he’s way behind
And he’s lookin’ to make a deal.
Well the Devil saw the President on TV
Lyin’ to a crowd and droolin’ snot
So the Devil ran in, jumped up on the stage
And said, “Donald, let me tell you what
You probably didn’t know it
But I’m a pretty good liar too
And if you care to take a dare
I’ll just make a bet with you
Now you tell some pretty good lies, old son
But give the Devil his due
I’ll bet a gavel of gold against your soul
That I can lie better than you”
The Donald said, “My name’s Trump
And lyin’ can't possibly be a sin
So I’m gonna take your bet and you’re gonna regret
I’m best liar there’s ever been
The Devil stepped up to the mic
And he said, “I’ll start this show
And lies flew from his evil mouth
About the virus being started by Cuomo
In a lab somewhere in Mexico
Then he started lyin’ about Hillary
And the media couldn’t get enough
And then a band of demons joined in
Shouting Lock ‘er up! Lock ‘er up!
When the Devil had finished
The Donald said, “Well, you’re pretty good old son
But just sit your ass down
And let me show you how this Corona-lyin’ is done
Corona’s in China, run boys run,
Corona’s in the House of the Risin’ Sun
Biden’s on Wall Street pickin’ up dough
Bernie does your dog bite? No Child, No
Well that old Devil bowed his head
‘Cause he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden gavel
On the ground at The Donald’s feet
The Trumpster said, “Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I’m the best liar there’s ever been!
