Blues Traveler - The Devil Went Down To Georgia Lyrics
Original performer: charlie daniels bandThe devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to stealHe was in a bind, cause he was way behindAnd he was willing to make a dealWell he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and he played it hotThe devil jumped up on a hickory stumpAnd said boy, let me tell you whatIn case you didnt know it, Im a fiddle player tooAnd if you care to make a dareIll make a bet with youNow you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his dueIll bet a fiddle of gold against your soulCause I think Im better than youWell the boy said my names johnny, and it might be a sinBut Ill take your bet youre gonna regretCause Im the best theres ever beenJohnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hardCause hells broke loose in georgiaAnd the devil deals the cardsAnd if you win youll get this shiny fiddle made of goldBut if you lose the devil gets your soulThe devil opened up his case, and said, Ill start this showAnd fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bowWhen he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hissAnd a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like thisWhen the devil finished, johnny said, well youre pretty good old sonBut just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how its doneHe played fire on the mountain, run, boys, runThe devils in the house with the rising sun,Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough,Granny does your dog bite, no, child, noThe devil bowed his head because he knew that hed been beatAnd he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnnys feetAnd johnny said, devil, come on back if you ever want to try againBut I told you once, you son of a *****, Im the best theres ever been!He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, runThe devils in the house with the rising sunChicken in the breadpan picking out doughGranny does your dog bite, no, child, no
