The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a dealWhen he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: Boy let me tell you what: I bet 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 youNow you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than youThe boy said: My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been
Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of goldBut if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said: I'll start this showAnd fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this
When the devil finished, Johnny said: Well you're pretty good ol' sonBut sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done
Fire on the mountain, run boys, runThe devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out doughGranny, does your dog bite?
No, child, no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beatHe laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said: Devil just come on back if you ever want to try againI told you once, you son of a gun, I'm the best that's ever been
And he played fire on the mountain, run boys, runThe devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan, now they're pickin' out doughGranny, will your dog bite?
No, child, no
