Charlie Daniels The Devil Went Down To Goergia Lyrics

The Devil Went Down To Goergia Lyrics

The Devil went down to Georgia 

He was looking for a soul to steal

He was in a bind cause he was way behind

He was willing to make a deal

When he came across this young man sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot

The devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said

Boy let me tell you what

I guess you didnt know it 

But im a fiddle player too

And if you care to take a dare

Ill make a bet with you

Now you play pretty good fiddle boy

But give the devil his due

I bet a fiddle of gold

Against your soul to think im better than you

The boy said my names Johnny

And it might be a sin but 

Ill take your bet you're gonna regret cause im the best theres ever been



(chorus)

Johnny rosin up your bow and play that fiddle hard 

Cause hells 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 u lose the devil gets your soul



The devil opened up his case

And said ill start this show

And fire flew from his finger tips  as he rosined up his bow

And he pulled his bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss

And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this



When the devil finished johnny said

Well ur pretty good ol son just sit down it that chair right  there

And let me show you how its done



(chorus)

Fire in the mountain run boys run the devils in the house of the rising sun


Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough

Granny does your dog bite no child no.



The Devil bowed his head cause he knew hed been beat

He layed that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnnys feet

Johnny said Devil just come on back

If u ever wanna try again 

Cause i told you once you son of a bitch

Im the best theres ever been



(chorus)



(fiddling till end)
