Steve Ouimette Devil Went Down To Georgia (Guitar) Lyrics

Devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind, so he was willing to make a deal.
When he come across that young boy playing and playing that fiddle hot,
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said "boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know if i'm a fiddle player too.
And if you care to take a dare, i'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a 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."

Boy said, "my name's johnny and it might be a sin,
But i'll take your bet, you're gonna regret 'cause
I'm the best there's ever been."

Johnny, rosin up your bow and play that fiddle hard,
'cause hell broke loose in georgia and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold,
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul!

Devil opened up his case and said, "i'll start the show."
and Fire flew from his fingertips 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 something like this.

When the devil finished, johnny said, "well you're pretty good old son.
Just sit down in that chair right there, lemme show you how it's done."

Fire on the mountain! run, boys, run!
devil's in the house of the rising sun.
chicken in the bread pan picking out dough.
Granny does your dog bite? no, child, no.

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet.
Johnny said, "devil, just come back if you ever wanna try again.
I told you once, you son of a b____, i'm the best that's ever been!"

Fire on the mountain! run, boys, run!
Devil's in the house of the rising sun.
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough,
Granny, does your dog bite? no, child, no.
