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 willin'
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 ya 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
pretty good fiddle boy,
but give the devil his due,
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
against your soul
'cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said,
"My names Johnny,
and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet -
your gonna regret
'cause i'm the best
that's ever been!"
Johnny rosin up your bow
an' play your fiddle hard
'Cause hell's broke
loose in Georgia
an' the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you'll get
this shiney 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 flew
from his finger tips
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 somthing like this:

When the devil finished
Johnny said,
"Well, you're pretty good ol' son,
"But set right in that
chair right there
and let me show you
how it's done!"

Fire On The Mountain,
Run Boys Run!
Devil's in the
House of the Rising Sun,
The Chicken in the Bread
Pan Peckin' 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,
"I done told you once
you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been!
And he played
Fire On The Mountain,
Run Boys Run!
Devil's in the
House of the Rising Sun,
The Chicken in the Bread Pan
Picken Out Dough,
Granny Will Your Dog Bite,
No Child, No!
