Found this on Facebook, someone did a re-write of the lyrics:
The Donald went down to Georgia.
He was lookin' for a vote to steal.
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind.
He was willing to make a deal
When he came across this old man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the Donald jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what."
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, man, but give the Donald his due.
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."
The man said, "My name's Biden, 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."
Biden risin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Donald steals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold,
But if you lose the Donald gets your soul.
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his tiny hands as he rosined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the Donald finished, Biden said, "Well, you're pretty good ol' son,
But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done."
"Fire on Mar a Lago." Run, boys, run!
The Donald's in the house of the rising sun
Ivanka's in the bread pan picking out dough
Jared, does your dog bite? No, child, no"
The Donald wet his bed because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Bidens feet.
Biden said, "Donald, just come on back if you ever wanna cry again,
'Cause I've told you once--you son of a bitch--I'm the best there's ever been."
And he played:
"Fire on Mar a Lago." Run, boys, run!
The Donald's in the house of the rising sun
Ivanka's in the bread pan picking out dough
Jared, does your dog bite? No, child, no"
The Devil done left Georgia....

"So do it," said Gov. Tony Evers. "Get that recount done so we can move on with our lives."

What if Today's the Day
It’s been four years now. You know this is not going to get any better. Last election you could still believe the Republican Party was your father’s Republican Party. A party of financial responsibility, small government, defending democracy, supporting our troops, respecting others, family values and even telling the truth. You now know these values are long gone. Up until now there’s been nothing you could do about it. Today that changes.
It’s been said elections have their consequences. A big part of this is who gets elected, but with each vote we also define who we are and what we stand for. Are you a serial liar? Are you a cheat? Do you really want gay friends and family members to fear for their marriages? Are you a racist? I’m pretty sure you want the answer to all of these to be a resounding no, but when your votes inflict all those things on your fellow Americans your actions speak louder than your denials. Why not have your actions match your actual values?
And it’s not just the president, it’s the party. Seriously, who's worse, the out of control leader or those elective legislators who took an oath to the Constitution and then broke it out of fear, corruption, or possibly both? At least Utah has Mitt Romney they can re-elect without shame, the rest not so much.
What to do? If you are in a spot where you feel safe to do it, I hear from customers, making the leap and telling the world the Republican Party is no longer for you can be quite exhilarating. But for those of you living more complex lives, I can see where that might be hard. If need be, maybe borrowing a page from the gay rural teen handbook and living a double life for a while is your best bet. In many ways this election is about your soul. Today who you vote for is far more important than who people think you voted for.
As of today we’ve needlessly lost over two hundred thousand Americans to the failed Republican handling of the Coronavirus. Without a change in leadership in both the White House and the Senate that number will be more than a million by this time next year. Today your vote can actually save lives. Please use it wisely.
Once we get past today’s vote, going forward your spirit is needed every bit as much as your vote. America and the world have serious issues to deal with and for many of these issues time is of the essence. You being among kindred spirits where you no longer have to hide your empathy and compassion just to fit in could lead to real difference. Come join in. Being on the good guys' side is a whole lot more fun.
Thanks for giving this some thought,
Bill

P.S. Please forward this to everyone you know of who is far more kind than those you think they will be voting for. Thanks!
P.P.S. All of Penzeys stores, warehouse, and customer service are closed to vote today. If you have an issue that needs addressing, tomorrow we will make it right.

Thank you LakeArenal for these photos and going to see these legacies with me!
*photos were taken during 2018 midterms when Obama and Joe campaigned for Tony Evers, Senator Baldwin and the entire rest of the down ballot. I love Joe’s pensive look as he listens to Tammy Baldwin....
Go Joe and Kamala!
