Devil Went Down On Oklahoma
Rewrite of the famous and great song, Devil Went Down To Georgia
The devil went down on Oklahoma
He was looking for a way
To recapture his soul's lost zeal
So went forth with a fury and a greed blind
He made the winds howl and toss
Fro and behind
Whatever it took
To recapture that ole feeling of zeal
Did't matter who he took
Woman, man or child
He did't give a damn
If the whole town was laid to rot
And so the devil uprooted an ole hickory stump
Dropped it on home and business alike
Like it was hot
Little did the devil know it
But he had done crossed the wrong ones
Ooh it's true
When he hit that innocent school
Went where he should never did dare
Now devil they're all gonna come after you
Devil went to cryin' and pleadin'
Even played them his best fiddle
But to no avail
It was time
High past time
Devil got his due
Played a wicked game that lost an innocent life
Now devil they're all comin' to get you
So it was done and said
For every lost little Janie and Johnny
An eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Uncaring if it was a sin
The people laid down their bet
Without an ounce of remorse or regret
Gave Ole Red the worst beatin' that's ever been
Moore rose up
To no demon wind would they bow
Beat that Satan hard
Till all hell broke loose in Oklahoma
Dealt that devil a poison set of cards
And when they did win
No more did that hater's smile roll gold
Devil knew for sure
He has lost
The last of his sad man's soul
Devil caught a case
When he tried to rewrite
Mankind's reality show
Fire and hell's winds blew
From his fingertips
But that town would't bow
Rose up instead in a firey hiss
Young and old
Those forces joined in
And sounded something like this....
Devil was finished
No doubt
When his wrath robbed parents of beloved sons and daughters
The people took Ole Red
Shoved him into a chair
Showed him just how human justice is done
Fired up a mountain
When that torando came
Tried to make blood run, run
Caught the devil laughing in the rising sun
Knocked him upside his pan
Baked him into a dough
Vengence he found had quite a bite
Oh, child, oh
To no devil's hand would they bow
Would't ever admit no defeat
And at the graves of all those little feet
Piece by piece
They laid him out
Said "Children, that devil won't ever be back now."
To try again
Cause we only had to catch him once
To show that son of a bitch
Moore is the very best
Suffering not in vein
Our town will rise again
And now forever the song plays...
Fired up a mountain
When that torando came
Tried to make blood run, run
Caught the devil laughing in the rising sun
Knocked him upside his pan
Baked him into a dough
Vengence he found had quite a bite
Oh, child, oh
