The Devil Went Down to Georgia |
The Devil went down to Georgia |
He was lookin' for a soul to steal |
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind. |
He was willing to make a deal |
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot |
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what." |
"I guess 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, boy, but give the Devil his due |
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you." |
The boy said, "My name's Johnny, 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." |
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard |
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards |
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold |
But if you lose the devil gets your soul |
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show." |
And fire flew from his fingertips 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 Devil finished, Johnny 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 the Mountain" Run, boys, run! |
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun |
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough |
Granny, does your dog bite? |
No, child, no |
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat |
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet |
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again |
I done told you once - you son of a bitch - I'm the best there's ever been." he played |
"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run! |
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun |
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough |
Granny, will your dog bite? |
No, child, no |
