[00:15.00]The devil went down to Georgia.
[00:18.00]He was looking for a soul to steal.
[00:20.00]And he was in a bind 'Cause he was way behind
[00:22.00]And was willin' to make a deal.
[00:24.00]When he came across a young man playing on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
[00:27.00]And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
[00:29.00]and said,"Boy let me tell you what:
[00:31.00]I bet you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too,
[00:34.00]And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
[00:38.00]Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy. But give the devil his due
[00:41.00]I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'Cause I think I'm better than you."
[00:45.00]The boy said, "My name's Johnny And it might be a sin.
[00:48.00]But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret 'Cause I'm the best that's ever been."
[00:52.00]Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard 'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia.
[00:56.00]And the devil deals the cards
[00:59.00]And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
[01:02.00]But if you lose the devil gets your soul.
[01:06.00] <Johnny's Play>
[01:13.00]The devil opened up his case and he said,"I'll start this show."
[01:16.00]And fire flew from his fingertips As he rosined up his bow
[01:20.00]And he pulled the bow across the strings And it made an evil hiss
[01:23.00]Then a band of demons joined in And it sounded something like this
[01:30.00] <Devil's Play>
[02:03.00]When the devil finished Johnny said,"Well you're pretty good ol' son!
[02:06.00]But sit down in that chair right there And let me show you how it's done!"
[02:10.00]Fire on the mountain, run boys run
[02:13.00]Devil's in the house of the rising sun
[02:17.00]Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough
[02:20.00]Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no
[02:26.00] <Johnny's Play>
[02:44.00]The devil bowed his head Because he knew that he'd been beat,
[02:47.00]And he laid that golden fiddle On the ground at Johnny's feet
[02:51.00]Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again.
[02:54.00]I done told you once, You son-of-a-bitch,
[02:56.00]I'm the best that's ever been!"
[02:58.00]He played: Fire on the mountain, run boys run
[03:02.00]Devil's in the house of the rising sun
[03:05.00]Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough
[03:09.00]Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no
