The Devil Came Down to Canby

The Devil came down to Canby 
and he was lookin for some soil to steal
he was in a bind, his plants way behind,
and he was willin to make a deal.

He came across a young man 
starting a pumpkin in a fertile plot
he jumped upon a nearby stump 
and said boy let me tell ya what.

I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a Pumpkin grower too
and if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
You grow a pretty big pumpkin boy but give the devil his due,
I'll bet a pumpkin of gold against your soil cause I think I'm better than
you.

The boy said "my names The Guru and it might be a sin, 
but I'll take that bet, you're gonna regret, 
cause i'm the best the best theres ever been.

(1st Corus)
Guru, fertilize that pumpkin patch and till that soil hard
cause hells broke loose in Canby and the devils in your yard.
If you win you'll get that giant pumpkin made of gold,
but if you lose the devil gets your soil....

The devil opened up his tool shed and said I'll start this show
and fire flew from his fingertips as he sharpened up his hoe.
He pulled that hoe across the ground and it made an evil hiss
His team of weeders joined in and it looked a little something like this....

Music

When the devil finished The Guru said 'Thats pretty good old son,
but plant that burning deriare, and I'll show you one half ton.

music
Theres fire near your pumpkins run boy run
music
It'll take lots of water, and full day sun.
music
Chicken and cow dung ready to go.
music
ready, set, fertilize, plant and grow.
music

The devil bowed his head cause he new he'd been beat,
and he left that golden pumpkin on the ground near the Gurus feet.
The Guru said 'devil just come on back if you ever want to try again,
but I told you once you son of a bitch I'm the best theres ever been.

Enjoy, its Halloween, night of the Pumpkins.....
