The Devil Went Down to Georgia
by the Charlie Daniels Band
[Intro] (Violin Solo)
[Verse 1]
The Devil went
down to Georg
ia
he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind cause he was way behind
he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man
sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump
and said boy l
et me tell you
what
I guess you di
dn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy
but give the devil his due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
cause I think
I'm better tha
n 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 that's ever been
[Bridge]
Johnny, you ro
sin up your bo
w
and play your
fiddle hard
Cause hell’s b
roke loose in
Georgia
and the Devil
deals it hard
And if you win
you get this
shiny fiddle m
ade of gold
But if you los
e the Devil ge
ts your soul
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 2]
The Devil open
ed 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 his strings
and it made an evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
and it sounded
something lik
e this

[Verse 3]
When the Devil
finished John
ny said
well, you're pretty good ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
and let me show you how it's done
[Chorus]
Fire on the mo
untain, run bo
ys run
The Devil's in
the house of
the risin' sun
Chicken in the
bread pan pic
kin' out dough
Granny does yo
ur dog bite no
, child, no
[Solo]
[Verse 4]
The Devil bowe
d 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 just come on back
if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch
I'm the best that's ever been, and he played
[Chorus]
Fire on the mo
untain, run bo
ys run
The Devil's in
the house of
the risin' sun
The chicken in
the bread pan
are pickin' o
ut dough
Granny will yo
ur dog bite no
, child, no
