Honey Harper – The Devil Went Down to Georgia Pt. II (Mail It In)
“The Devil Went Down to Georgia Pt. II (Mail It In)” is the new song from Honey Harper, available now on Bandcamp. smarturl.it/DevilDownToGeorgiaII
“We’ve always believed in allowing people to interpret our lyrics in different ways and find their own personal meanings in our songs. With this song and video though, we want to be explicitly clear with where we stand:
Biden may not have been our first choice, but this fall, it’s the only choice.
A vote for a third-party candidate is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Trump is a vote that condones racism, xenophobia, homophobia & misogyny.”
-Honey Harper
Well, since the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said “Boy, I tell you what”
I ain’t been to Georgia, honestly it ain’t too fun
Atlanta’s got a few things left I need to resolve
But I ain’t going back to Georgia this fall
In some shop in some city there’s a gold fiddle sitting behind a pane of glass
On a shelf by some bullets and a tab that says pull it in a Billy Big Mouth Bass
Singing that same old Elvis song
Still ain’t going back to Georgia this fall
I’ve always been ashamed of the burning rain of those who believe in hell
Sorry folks it ain’t no joke I’m just thinking for myself
Not even my momma, or my papa, or my sister, or their mean old dog
could get me back to Georgia this fall
Oh my, what a surprise and, baby, how time flies, that damn demon’s on TV
Same vain fool who tucked his tail then laid that fiddle at my feet
Looks like I’m gonna have to mail it in after all
‘Cause I ain’t going back to Georgia at all
