Did you know that the Granny line is in reference to some old bluegrass folk tune? It is! And I believe so is the fiddling that follows it.

Also, I would listen to a song called “Low-Level Satanic Functionary Went Down to Georgia.”

I’m guessing this soul-stealer was a mere demon, not Satan himself. However, the metre of the line didn’t allow for all that exposition.

Just a theory.
