The continuing saga of the battle between right & wrong portrayed in a rocking fiddle song.
Music & Lyrics by Dave McIsaac

Way back when a lawyer by the name of Daniel Webster beat the devil at his own game and won a very famous courtroom battle. We all assumed that was the end of the story. But the devil's come back but this time it's going to take more than a smooth talkin' man to beat that devil....

THE DEVIL'S COME BACK
Diddle Records Publishing, ASCAP ©2010
(Spoken)
“The Devil And Daniel Webster”
Y'all heard that story before
But the story didn't end when the devil didn't win
'Cause he's come back for more
Yeh, the devil's come back and it's a fact
That he’s feeling mighty sore
But old Danny just won that battle
Now the devil's come back for war
It was a mighty fine thing that Danny did
When he won that courtroom battle
But in the war between right and wrong
It just barely helped a little
Now this time around it's gonna take
A whole lot more than a smooth talkin' man
To beat that devil we've got to get together
And take a united stand
(Sung)
It's gonna take more than a smooth talkin’ man
To stop that devil and his evil plan
All good people gotta take a stand
To keep that devil from the promised land
(Spoken)
Now some say the devil's in Afghanistan right now
And others say, "He's in D.C.. Now that's the devil's town!"
But it seems to me he's a sneaky fellow, and I'm sure he gets around
So wherever he is, let's get it together and bring that devil down
(Chorus - Sung)
If we stand up together we'll kick his ass - just wait and see
Whether we fight him in Afghanistan or Washington D.C.
'Cause faith conquers fear, history proves it oh so well
Together we can send him back to hell
‘Cause faith beats fear every time
(Spoken)
With his devilish tongue he can twist the truth
So you can't tell wrong from right
Then he'll fill your soul with fear and hate
And steal it like a thief in the night
And he hides so well under his cloak of lies
That it makes him hard to see
But if you shine God's light you can see the truth
And the truth will set you free
(Sung)
So, if God rules by love and the devil rules by fear
It's plain to see, my friend, who's been runnin' things 'round here
(Spoken)
So, if your mind's filled with fear, it's the devil
And hate only makes him strong
And if you let it get the best of you
He'll own you before too long
But if your heart's filled with faith and hope
And a love that's so divine
It's the hand of God that's touching you
And faith beats fear every time
(Chorus - Sung)
If we stand up together we'll kick his ass - just wait and see
Whether we fight him in Afghanistan or in Washington D.C.
'Cause faith conquers fear, history proves it oh so well
Together we can send him back to hell
So let's stand up together, we'll kick his ass - just wait and see
Whether we fight him in Afghanistan or in Washington D.C.
'Cause faith conquers fear, history proves it oh so well
Together we can send him back to hell
‘Cause faith beats fear every time
