The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind caus he was way behind
He was willin to make a deal

When he came man sewin on a fiddle
And playin it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell yah what

I guess you didnt know it
But im a fiddle player to
And if you care to take a dare
Ill make a bet with you

Now you play pretty good fiddle boy
But give the devil his due
Ill bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
Caus I think Im better than you

The boy said "My names Johnny and it may be a sin
But Ill take your bet
Your gunna regret
Caus Im the best thats ever been

Johnny your rousin up your bow
And play your fiddle hard
Caus hells broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals it hard
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul

The devil opend up his case
And he said "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his finger tips
As he riled 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 somthin' like this:

(Rock and roll fiddle)

When the devil finished Johnny said
"Well your pretty good ole son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show yah how its done"

Fire on the mountains run boys run
The devils in the house of the risin sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin out dough
Crazy does the dog bite no child no

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew he'd been beet
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground
At Johnny's feet

Johnny said "Devil just come on back
If you ever wana try again
I done told you once you sunuvabitch
Im the best thats ever been

Fire on the mountains run boys run
The devils in the house of the risin sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin out dough
Crazy does the dog bite like no child no
