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!
