The devil went down to Georgia
He was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind he was way behind, he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across some boy sawin' on a fiddle and
Playin' It hott, then the devil jumped up on a hickory
Stump and Said boy, lemme tell you what
I guess you didn't know it but im a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare well
I'll make a bet with you And you play pretty good
Fiddle boy, but you give the devil his Due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul to think im better Than you
My names 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 reisen up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard
If you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you loose the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case now and he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips as he reisened up his bow
And he pulled that bow across his strings and it made
An evil hissin' then a band of demons joined in and it
Sounded Somethin' like this
When the devil finished, Johnny said well you're
Pretty good ol' son Sit down in that chair right there
Lemme show you how its done
He played Fire on the mountain run boys run
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chickens in the bread pen pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite
No, child, no
The devil bowed his head now
'Cause he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle down on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said Devil just come on back if you ever wanna
Try again, I told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been
He played Fire on the mountain run boys run
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chickens in the bread pen pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite
No, child, no
