I really like the song,
The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band.

Does that make me dirty?

5. Not at all
Its a good song. And I hate country music. And besides that. We all have our own unique taste and no one really has the right to judge anothers tastes*. So go with what you like.



*with the exception of David Hasslehoff.

6. it's OK
That's a great song. Great bar song.

I went to college in the midwest, and it was often playing on the jukebox at the bar we frequented, so I have an affinity for it, too!

14. I'm guilty, too…

Charlie is a reactionary, redneck son-of-a-bitch somewhere to the right of John Birch, but damn that tune was good.

Listen, tap, slap, dance…just don't visit his website. It's Freep City.

I'm a sucker for Tammy Wynette and George Jones as well. Nothing to feel ashamed about.

18. You have to understand what the song is really about
Its not about the devil. Its about the influence of modern estetics in Country Music. The Devil exemplifies the new modern synthetic style. Full of effects and flash. Charlie exemplifies the old fashioned but skilled performance.

For what it's worht I agree. The Devil won hands down.

19. Actually I had never put that much thought into it....
...but that's an interesting take on the concept. I can definitely listen to the song with a fresh interpretation.

Funny, as I definitely prefer the "older" and less polished country stylings as opposed to the overproduced pop-country pablum that Nashville is currently pumping out.

Even so, the Debbil was kickin' some ass on that tune.

20. The Devil went down to Jamaica
The Devil went to Jamaica
He was looking to sell some weed
he was doin' fine, they were standing in line
it was excellent weed indeed
he came across a young man who was likewise peddling pot
and the devil slid down the beach and said "boy let me tell you what,
I guess you kinda figured I'm a reefer head of course
and after all this time, I guess that I'm a conessuire of sorts
now your stuff smells ok, but this can tranquilize a horse
I bet a million in cash against your stash that mines better then yours."
the boy said my names Johnny and you ain't smoked nothing yet
one hit of this grass'll kick your ass, you got yourself a bet."

Johnny role a ball of hash and make sure its the bomb
cause the devils got the kinda stuff they smoke in Vietnam
you'll get a million smackaroos in cash if you can cope
but if you can't the devil gets your dope

The devil packed a bong with a little Acapulco gold
and resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl
he filled that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit
and as they passed it back and forth it gave them both a coughing fit

when the bowl was finished Johnny said hey man that stuff was great
but fill your lungs with some of this and prepare to vegetate

cannabis sativa sweet mary jane
the devils in the back yard frying his brain
zig zag filled with a diggidy dank
hold on tight it'll hit you like a tank

the devil nodded off because he knew that he was stoned
and he asked if he could buy an ounce of the stuff that Johnny owned
Johnny said devil just come on back if you ever want to catch a buzz
i done told you once you son of a bitch mines the best there ever was

Fired up doobies one by one
ain't gonna stop till the bags done
green as a bull frog sticky as glue
granny do you get high yes i do

David Allen Coe
