The devil went down to Georgia 

he was lookin' for a soul to steal

He was in a bind 'cause 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 up on a hickory stump

And said, "boy let me tell you what
 
  REm
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 pretty good fiddle, 

son but give the devil his due

I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 
                             LA5 DO5
I think I'm better than you"
    REm
The boy said, "my name's Johnny

And it might be a sin but I'll take your bet 

and you're gonna regret

I'm the best that's ever been"

REm   
Johnny you resin up your bow 
    DO
and play your fiddle hard
       SOLm
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia 
        REm
and the devil deals the cards

And if you win, 
                   DO
you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
    LA                                   SOL5 FA5 MI5
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

He dragged the bow across the strings 

and it made an evil hiss
                     
The band of demons joined in 
                       
and it sounded something like this

RE5  FA5  MI5  SOL5  RE5  FA5  MI5 

RE5  FA5  MI5  SOL5  RE5  FA5  MI5  MIb5

RE5  FA5  MI5  SOL5  RE5  FA5  MI5  MIb5  RE5

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 it's done"

RE
Fire on the mountain, run boys run
    DO
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
RE
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
DO
Granny does your dog bite, no child no

    REm
The devil bowed his head 

'cause 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 want to try again

I told you once, you son of a bitch 

I'm the best that's ever been"

RE
He played, fire on the mountain, run boys run
    DO
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
RE
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
DO
Granny does your dog bite, no child no
