| The devil went down to | |
| GeorgiaHe was lookin' for a soul to steal | |
| He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind | |
| And willing to make a deal | |
| When he came across one 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 itBut I'm a fiddle player tooAnd if you'd care to take a dareI'll make a bet with you""Now you play pretty good fiddle, boyBut I'll give the devil his dueI bet a fiddle of gold against your soulI think I'm better than you" | |
| The boy said, "My name's JohnnyAnd it might be a sinBut I'll take your bet, you're gonna regretI'm the best that's ever been" | |
| Johnny you rosin up your bow | |
| And play your fiddle hard' | |
| Cause Hell's broke loose in | |
| GeorgiaAnd the devil deals the cards | |
| And if you win | |
| You get this shiny fiddle made of gold | |
| But if you lose | |
| The devil gets your soul | |
| The devil opened up his case | |
| And he said, "I'll start this show" | |
| And fire flew from his fingertips | |
| As he rosined up his bow | |
| And he pulled the bow across the strings | |
| It made an evil hiss | |
| Then a band of demons joined in | |
| And it sounded something like this | |
| When the devil finished, | |
| Johnny said"You're pretty good, old sonBut sit down in that chair right thereAnd let me show you how it's done" | |
| Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run | |
| Devil's in the house of the rising sun | |
| Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough | |
| Granny does your dog bite, no, child, no | |
| The best that's ever been | |
| I'm the best that's ever been | |
| 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 | |
| Johnny said, "Devil, come on backIf you ever want to try againI told you once, you son of a bitchI'm the best that's ever been" | |
| Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run | |
| Devil's in the house of the rising sun | |
| Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough | |
| Granny does your dog bite, no, child, no | |
| The best that's ever been | |
| I'm the best that's ever been | |
| I'm the best that's ever been |
