The Devil Went Down To Georgia (or Ode to Dave&Mech)

Sung to the tune of "Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels Band.

The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal

When he came across this young man
Running RC5 and running it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "Boy let me tell you what

"I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a politician too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you

"Now you run pretty good RC5, boy
But give the devil his due
I bet a couple a votes against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"

The boy said "My name's Mechbgon
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best that's ever been"

Tom you resin up your bow
And play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals the cards

And if you win
You get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose
The devil gets Dave's soul

The devil openned up his case
And he said "I'll start this show"
And fire blew out his pompous butt
As he resined up his bow

And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
Then a band of lawyers joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Mech said
"Well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how its done"

{Refrain}
Fire on the mountain, run boys run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Thurbert in his office a-packin' his stuff,
There's an election coming Roy - this ain't no bluff

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Mechbgon's feet

Mech said "Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again
But I told you once, you son of a b!tch
I'm the best that's ever been"

He played...
{Refrain}
 
Well done...sad that the songs have come to dealing with such nasty issues (meaning, I wish Dave had never been in this terrible situation), but well done none-theless. And mech, my hat goes off to you for your efforts.
 
ROFL! 😀 Dang, now I need to make up one for DanC... 😉

To any prosecutors reading this: if you need my photo for your dartboard, send a SASE to my mailing address. It's on that letter I faxed to your boss this morning. 😉
