It's been 10 long years since the devil laid his fiddle at Johnny's feet
And it burned inside his mind the way he suffered that defeat
It the darkest pits of Hell
The devil hatched an evil plan
To tempt the fiddle player
For he's just a mortal man

"The sin of pride," the devil cried, "is what will do you in!"

(Johnny)"I thought we had this settled. I'm the best there's ever been!"

Johnny didn't you ever know
That time keeps marchin on?
The coldest hour is the one
That comes just before the dawn
The devil's back in Georgia
Will you stand up to the test?
Or will you let the devil be the best?

Truth is, I haven't played much
Since that day came in June
But give me half a minute
I'll get this fiddle back in tune!

(Johnny starts to tune the fiddle)

The devil grabbed the golden fiddle
Out of Johnny's hand and said,
"Boy, I'm the fiddle player underground
And I walk upon the land!

Y'all better just be turning back
If you want this boy to win,
Cuz practice is the only cure
For the predicament he's in!"

(Johnny)"Now, devil, it would be a sin
For you to get my vote
So you go on back to Hell
And to the woodshed I will go"

Johnny are you practicing
Or will your hands grow cold?
The devil walks the land
And plays a fiddle made of gold
Can you hear the baby cryin?
Will he ever know,
that the devil wants his daddy's very soul.

(Johnny)"Before we play I wanna thank you for lettin Gods own word ring through
He said you can't be trusted!"
(Devil)"yeah, so what you gunna do?"
"Well. you get your fiddle devil,
If you think that you could win,
Cuz I beat you once, you old dog,
And I can whoop your b___ again!"

John Brown screamed the devil is red!

My little baby loves shortening bread

The devils screams that he can win

But Johnny is the best that's ever been
