The devil went down to GeorgiaHe was lookin' for a soul to stealHe was in a bind'Cause he was way behindAnd he was willin' to make a dealWhen he came upon this young manSawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hotAnd the devil jumpedUp on a hickory stumpAnd said, boy, let me tell you whatI 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, boyBut give the devil his dueI'll bet a fiddle of goldAgainst your soul'Cause I think I'm better than you.The boy said, my name's JohnnyAnd it might be a sinBut I'll take your betAnd 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 get this shiny fiddle made of gold But if you lose, the devil gets your soulThe devil opened up his caseAnd he said, I'll start this show.And fire flew from his fingertipsAs he rosined up his bowThen he pulled the bow across the stringsAnd it made an evil hissAnd a band of demons joined inAnd it sounded something like thisWhen the devil finishedJohnny said, well, you're pretty good, old sonBut sit down in that chair right thereAnd let me show you how it's done.He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, runThe devil's in the House of the Rising SunChicken in a bread pan pickin' out doughGranny, does your dog bite? No child, noThe devil bowed his headBecause he knew that he'd been beatAnd he laid that golden fiddleOn the ground at Johnny's feetJohnny said, Devil, just come on backIf you ever want to try againI done told you once you son of a bitchI'm the best that's ever been.He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, runThe devil's in the House of the Rising SunChicken in a bread pan pickin' out doughGranny, does your dog bite? No child, no
Lyrics by The Charlie Daniels Band
