The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal |
| [00:18.544] |
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal |
| [00:22.036] |
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot |
| [00:25.559] |
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what." |
| [00:28.936] |
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too |
| [00:32.198] |
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you |
| [00:35.646] |
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due |
| [00:39.703] |
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you." |
| [00:43.162] |
The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin |
| [00:46.471] |
But I'll take your bet, and you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best there's ever been." |
| [00:50.047] |
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard |
| [00:53.463] |
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards |
| [00:56.907] |
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold |
| [01:00.568] |
But if you lose the devil gets your soul |
| [01:12.041] |
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show." |
| [01:15.178] |
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow |
| [01:19.002] |
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss |
| [01:22.474] |
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this: |
| [01:26.262] [Demonic violin piece] |
|
| [02:02.134] |
When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good ol' son |
| [02:05.572] |
But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done." |
| [02:09.342] |
"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run! |
| [02:12.953] |
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun |
| [02:16.241] |
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough |
| [02:18.939] |
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no |
| [02:24.099] [Non-demonic violin piece] |
|
| [02:44.170] |
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat |
| [02:46.833] |
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet |
| [02:50.131] |
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again |
| [02:53.673] |
I done told you once--you son of a bitch--I'm the best there's ever been." |
| [02:57.222] |
And he played: |
| [02:57.983] |
"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run! |
| [03:01.169] |
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun |
| [03:04.676] |
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough |
| [03:08.314] |
Granny, will your dog bite? No, child, no |
