:music:The devil went down to Georgia,
He was looking for a soul to steal,
He was in a bind 'cus he was way behind,
An' he was willin' to make a deal.
He came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
The devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said "Boy lemme tell ya what"
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too",
"an' if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you".
"Now you play pretty good fiddle boy, but give the devil his due".
"I'll bet a fiddle of gold against you soul 'cuz ah think I'm better'n you".
Well the boy said "My name's Johnny and it might be sin",
"But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret",
"'cuz I'm the best there's ever been".
*chorus*
Johnny rosen up your bow and play your fiddle hard,
'Cuz Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards,
If you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold,
but if you lose, the devil get's your sooouuul.
*break*
The devil opened up his case and said "I'll start this show",
and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosened up his bow,
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.
*discordant rock/fiddle solo*
When the devil finished Johnny said "Well you're pretty good ol' son",
"but sit down in that chair right there and lemme show you how it's done"!
Fire in the mountains run boys run.
The devil's in the house of the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough,
Granny does your dog bite? "No child no"
*solo*
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat,
and 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".
and he played:
Fire in the mountains run boys run.
The devil's in the house of the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough,
Granny does your dog bite? "No child no"
*solo*
