[00:20.57]The Devil went down to Georgia
[00:21.69]He was lookin' for a soul to steal
[00:23.44]He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
[00:25.58]And he was willin' to make a deal
[00:27.22]When he came across this young man
[00:28.75]Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
[00:30.74]And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump
[00:32.42]And said, "Boy, let me tell you what"
[00:34.47]"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too
[00:37.51]And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
[00:41.10]Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due
[00:44.43]I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
[00:46.39]'Cause I think I'm better than you"
[00:48.39]The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
[00:51.50]But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
[00:53.38]'Cause I am the best that's ever has been
[00:55.26]Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
[00:58.42]'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
[01:02.18]And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
[01:05.62]But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
[01:09.51]🎵
[01:23.78]The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
[01:26.70]And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
[01:30.18]And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made a evil hiss
[01:33.78]And a band of demons joined in, and it sounded somethin' like this
[01:37.47]🎵
[02:15.94]When the Devil finished
[02:16.98]Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good ol' son
[02:18.78]But sit down in that chair right there
[02:20.50]And let me show you how it's done"
[02:22.58]"Fire on the Mountain", run, boys, run
[02:26.10]The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
[02:29.54]Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
[02:33.11]Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
[02:35.34]🎵
[03:00.23]The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
[03:03.47]And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
[03:06.98]Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
[03:10.62]I done told you once, you son of a bitch
[03:12.38]I'm the best that's ever been" he played
[03:14.42]"Fire on the Mountain", run, boys, run
[03:17.78]The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
[03:21.34]The chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
[03:24.91]Granny, will your dog bite? No, child, no
