the devil went down to georgia
he was looking for a soul to steal
he was in a bind cause he was way behind
and he was willing to make a deal
when he came across his young man
saw an old fiddle and playing it hot
and the devil jumped up on 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 care to take a dare i'll make a bet with you
now you playing pretty good fiddle boy
but give the devil
i bet a fiddle of gold against your souls
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 you're risin' up your bow
and play your fiddle hard
cause hell's broke loose in georgia
and the devil deals the cards you win
you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
but if you lose the devil get your soul
the devil opened up his case
and he said i'll start the show
and fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosened up his bow
and he pulled the bow across the strings
and it made an evil hiss
then a band of demons joined in
and it sounded something like this
when the devil finished johnny said well you're pretty
good old son
fire on the mountain
run boys run
the devil's in the house of the rising sun
chicken 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 it again
i done told you once you son of a **
i'm the best there's ever been and he played
fire on the mountain
one boys run
the devil's in the house of the rising sun
chicken in the bread pan
picking out dough granny
cause you don't bite no child no
