The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Lynn Anderson
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
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'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 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
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'll 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 blew from his fingertips
As he rosined 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
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 risin' sun
Chicken in the bread
Pan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite
'No child no'
The Devil bowed his head
'Cause 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 want to try again
'Cause I told you once
You son of a gun
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 risin' sun
Chicken in the bread
Pan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite
'No child no'
