THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO THE CHRISTMAS PLACE

REPRINTED
PAUL WENT DOWN TO THE CHRISTMAS PLACE
(SUNG TO- THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA)
PAUL WENT DOWN TO THE CHRISTMAS PLACE,
HE WAS LOOKING FOR A BUCK TO STEAL.
HE WAS IN A BIND
CAUSE HE WAS WAY BEHIND
AND HE WAS WILLIN’ TO MAKE A DEAL.

WHEN HE CAME UP ON A YOUNG HUNTER
AT THE CROSSOVER AND SHOOTING 'EM HOT
AND THE DEVIL JUMPED ON A DEER STAND
AND SAID “BOY, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT!

NOW YOU SHOOT A PRETTY BIG BUCK, BOY
BUT GIVE OLD PAULIE HIS DUE
I’LL BET A RIFLE OF GOLD
AGAINST YOUR SOUL
CAUSE I THINK I’M BETTER THAN YOU.

THE BOY SAID MY NAMES TRENTIE
AND IT MIGHT BE A SIN
BUT I’LL TAKE THAT BET
YOU’RE GONNA REGRET
CAUSE I’M THE BEST THERE’S EVER BEEN

THE DEVIL OPENED UP HIS CASE
AND HE SAID “I’LL START THIS SHOW
AND FIRE FLEW FROM HIS FINGERTIPS
AS HE LOADED UP HIS SHOOTING POLE.

THEN HE LAID THE RIFLE ACROSS THE REST
AND IT MADE AN EVIL HISS
AND HIS TOADIES MICHAEL AND BURNEY JOINED IN
AND IT SOUNDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS
BLAMA, BLAMA, RAT A TAT, BLAM, WHING
POW, POW BLING
BAM, BAM KAPOW, BALMA DING ZING, BLING!!

WHEN THE DEVIL FINISHED
TRENTIE SAID “YOU’RE PRETTY GOOD OLD SON
JUST SIT IN THAT BLIND RIGHT THERE
AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT’S DONE.

HIS RIFLE SANG- BUCK ON THE MOUNTAIN,
RUN BOYS RUN !
THUNDERHOOFS AT THE EASTGATE CATCHING SOME SUN
LAWYERS IN THE BANK VAULT COUNTING HIS DOUGH
GONNA HAVE FUN WITH THE MONEY I STOLE!”

THE DEVIL BOWED HIS HEAD
BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HE’D BEEN BEAT
AND HE LAID THAT GOLDEN RIFLE
ON THE GROUND AT TRENTIES FEET.

TRENTIE SAID “DEVIL JUST COME ON BACK
IF YOU EVER WANNA TRY AGAIN,
I TOLD YOU ONCE, YOU SON OF A WITCH
I’M THE BEST THERE’S EVER BEEN!

HIS RIFLE SHOT- BUCK ON THE MOUNTAIN
RUN BOYS RUN !
THUNDERHOOFS AT EASTGATE CATCHING SOME SUN
LAWYERS IN THE BANK VAULT COUNTING HIS DOUGH
GONNA HAVE FUN WITH THE MONEY I STOLE!
