The Devil went down to Georgia    He was looking 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 sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot   The devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said   Boy let me tell you what   I guess you didnt know it    But im a fiddle player too   And if you care to take a dare   Ill make a bet with you   Now you play pretty good fiddle boy   But give the devil his due   I bet a fiddle of gold   Against your soul to think im better than you   The boy said my names Johnny   And it might be a sin but    Ill take your bet you're gonna regret cause im the best theres ever been      (chorus)   Johnny rosin up your bow and play that fiddle hard    Cause hells broke loose in georgia   And the devil deals the cards    And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold    But if u lose the devil gets your soul      The devil opened up his case   And said ill start this show   And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow   And he pulled his 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 ur pretty good ol son just sit down it that chair right there   And let me show you how its done      (chorus)   Fire in the mountain run boys run the devils in the house of the rising sun    Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough   Granny will your dog bite no child no.      The Devil bowed his head cause he knew hed been beat   He layed that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnnys feet   Johnny said Devil just come on back   If you ever wanna try again    Cause i told you once you son of a bitch   I'm the best theres ever been      (chorus)      (fiddling till end)
