Devil Went Down to Georgia

Devil Went Down to Georgia - The Hit Crew

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

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 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 right there

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

Come on back if you ever want to try again

But I told you once you son of a b**ch

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"
