1
The Devil went down to Georgia
2
He was looking for a soul to steal
3
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
4
And he was willing to make a deal
5
Well, he come across a young man
6
Sawing on a fiddle and he played it hot
7
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump
8
And said, "Boy, let me tell you what?"
9
"In case you didn't know it
10
I'm a fiddle player too
11
And if you care to make a dare
12
I'll make a bet with you"
13
"Now you play pretty good fiddle
14
Son, but give the Devil his due
15
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
16
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
17
Well, the boy said
18
"My name's Johnny and it might be a sin
19
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
20
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
21
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
22
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
23
And the Devil deals the cards
24
And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold
25
But if you lose the Devil gets your soul
26
The Devil opened up his case, and said, "I'll start this show"
27
And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow
28
When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss
29
And a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this
30
When the Devil finished, Johnny said
31
"Well, you're pretty good old son
32
But just sit down in that chair right there
33
And let me show you how it's done"
34
He played, 'Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run'
35
The Devil's in the house with the rising sun
36
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough
37
Granny does your dog bite, "No, child, no"
38
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
39
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
40
And Johnny said, "Devil, come on back if you ever want to try again
41
But I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been"
42
He played, 'Fire on the Mountain, run, boys, run'
43
The Devil's in the house with the rising sun
44
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough
45
Granny does your dog bite, "No, child, no"
