Devil Went Down to Georgia

Devil Went Down to Georgia - Halloween Hit Factory

The devil went down to Georgia

He was looking for a soul to steal

He was in a bind

Cos he was way behind

And he was willing to make a deal

When he came across this young man

Sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot

And the devil jumped upon

A hickory stump and said

Boy let me tell you what

I guess you didn'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

Cos 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

Your gonna regret

Cos I'm the best that's ever been

Johnny you rosin up your bow

And play your fiddle hard

'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia

And 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

His strings and it made an evil hiss

Then a band of demons joined in

And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Johnny said

Well you're pretty good old son

But sit down in that chair right there

And let me show you how its done

Fire on the mountain run boys run

The devil's in the house of the rising sun

Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough

Granny does your dog bite

No child no

The devil bowed his head

Because he knew that he'd been beat

He laid that golden fiddle

On the ground at Johnny's feet

Johnny said

Devil just come on back

If you ever want to try again

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

I'm the best there's ever been

And he played fire on the mountain run boys run

The devil's in the house of the rising sun

Chicken in the bread pan

Now they're picking out dough

Granny will your dog bite

No child no
