The Devil Went Down To Dustbowl
To the tune of The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The devil went down to Dustbowl, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind ‘cos he was way behind: he was willin’ to make a deal.
When he came across this young man bangin’ on a sentry upgradin’ it good.
And the devil jumped upon a control point and said: “Boy let me tell you what:
“I bet you didn’t know it, but I’m a sentry builder too.
“And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
“Now you build a pretty good sentry, boy, but give the devil his due:
“I bet a dispenser of gold against your soul, ‘cos I think I’m better than you.”
The boy said: “My name’s Engie and it might be a sin,
“But I’ll take your bet, your gonna regret, ‘cos I’m the best that’s ever been.”
Engie you rosin up your wrench and bang your sentry hard.
‘Cos hells broke loose in Dustbowl and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny dispenser made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.
The devil opened up his toolkit and he said: “I’ll start this show.”
And fire flew from his fingertips as he oiled up his wrench.
And he banged the wrench across his sentry and it made an evil thud.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Engie said: “Well you’re pretty good ol’ son.
“But if you’ll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done.”
Spy on the cap point, run boys, run.
The soldier’s in the house with a spammin’ gun.
Sniper in the battlement, shot you in the head.
“Medic, does your gun sting?”
“No, child, no.”
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat.
He laid that golden dispenser on the ground at Engie’s feet.
Engie said: “Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
“I told you once, you son of a gun, I’m the best that’s ever been.”
And he played spy on the cap point, run boys, run.
The soldier’s in the house with a spammin’ gun.
Sniper in the battlement, shot you in the head.
“Medic, does your gun sting?”
“No, child, no.”

I have to know the events that led up to the sparking of this idea.

The most embarrassing moment of my life is when this song came over a loudspeaker while on holiday in Canada. My mom and dad sang the song outloud in a crowd of about 50 teenagers. Thanks for the memories!

Sorry.. I have to say it…
The lyrics didn’t rhyme allot of times.. I cringed at the last part of the chorus each time.. Please.. if you are going to make a parody of a song, then at least fit the same flow of said song?

For example.. This flows a bit better IMHO..

Engie you rosin up your wrench and build your sentry fast.
‘Cos hells broke loose in Dustbowl and the devil keeps talkin sass.

And he banged the wrench across his sentry and it made an loud clunk.
Then a band of demons joined in and poor old Engines heart had sunk.

Medic is there with glasses on his head.
He taunts after I’m dead.
