The Devil Came Back To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band
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? Sure thing, I haven't played much Since the baby 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, "I'm the fiddle player underground And I walk upon the land! Y'all just better 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 just 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 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'll whoop your butt again!" John Brown screamed the devils red! My little shortening bread The devils screams that he can win But Jonny is the best there's ever been
