[00:15.007] 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
