LYRICS:
The DA Went Down to Georgia
Fanni went down to Georgia,
She was looking for a case to build.
She was in a bind, cause she was way behind,
And she was willing to make a deal.
When she came upon this businessman,
Playing politics and doing it hot,
Fanni jumped up on a hickory stump and said,
Donny, let me tell you what.
I guess you didn’t know it,
But I’m a prosecutor too.
And if you’d care to take a dare,
I’ll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good politics, Donny,
But give the DA her due.
I’ll bet a subpoena of gold against your soul,
‘Cause I think I’m better than you.
Donny said, My name’s Donny, and it might be a sin,
But I’ll take your bet, and you’re gonna regret,
‘Cause I’m the best there’s ever been.
Donny, you rosin up your bow and play your politics hard,
‘Cause hell’s broke loose in Georgia and the DA deals the cards.
And if you win, you get this shiny subpoena made of gold,
But if you lose, Fanni gets your soul.
Fanni opened up her case and she said, I’ll start this show,
And fire flew from her fingertips as she readied to go.
She pulled the evidence across the strings and it made an evil hiss,
Then a team of lawyers joined in, and it sounded something like this.
When Fanni finished, Donny said,
Well you’re pretty good, old DA,
But sit down in that chair right there,
And let me show you how it’s played.
