Devil Went Down to Georgia - Original 歌詞
Devil Went Down to Georgia - Original - Lynn Anderson
When the Devil went down to Georgia
He was looking for a soul to steal
He was way behind he was in a bind
And he was looking to make a deal
Well he come across a young man sawing
On a fiddle and he played it hot
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said Boy let me tell you what
I think you didn't know it
But I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare
Well I'll make a bet with you
Well now you play pretty good fiddle
Boy but give this Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
Well 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 broke loose in Georgia
And the Devil deals the cards
If you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold
If you lose the Devil gets your soul
Where the Devil opened up his case and he said
I'll start this show
And fire flew from his finger tips
As he rosined up his bow
When he dragged that bow across the strings
It made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
It sounded just like this
When the Devil finished Johnny said
Well that's pretty good old son
But just sit down in that easy chair
And let me show you how it's done
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
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's
Come on back if you ever want to try again
I don't told you once you son of a b**ch
I'm the best there's ever been
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
