Devil Went Down To Georgia Lyrics

The Devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a
soul to steal
He was in a bind, cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal

Well he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and
playing it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said "Boy, let me tell you what"

I bet you didn't know it, I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to make a dare
I'll make a bet with you

Now you may play a pretty good fiddle, boy give the
Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold to get your soul
Cause I think I'm better than you"

The 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 your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the Devil deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of
gold
But if you lose the Devil gets your soul

The Devil opened up his case, and said, "I'll startBlues Traveller - Devil Went Down To Georgia - http://motolyrics.com/blues-traveller/devil-went-down-to-georgia-lyrics.html
this show"
And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up
his bow
When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an
evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in, it sounded somethin
like this

When he finally finished, Johnny said, "Well you're
pretty good old son
But just sit down in that chair right there and let me
show you how it's done"

Fire on the Mountain, run, boys, run
The Devil's in the house with the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough,
Granny does your dog bite, "No, child, no"

The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd
been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at
Johnny's feet
And Johnny said, "Devil, come on back if you ever want
to try again
But I told you once, you son of a gun, I'm the best
there's ever been!"

He played Fire on the Mountain, run, boys, run
The Devil's in the house with the rising sun
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite, "No, child, no"
