The Devil Went Down to Georgia (Live) - The Charlie Daniels Band

Composed by：Tommy Crain/Charlie Daniels/Joe DiGregorio/Fred Edwards/Charlie Hayward

Well 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

Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot

And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump

And said boy let me tell you what your problem

You didn't know it

But I am 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'll bet a fiddle o' gold against your soul

'Cause 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

And 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's 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

Fire flew from his fingertips

As he rosined up his bow

And he pulled the bow across the strings

And it made a evil hiss

And then a band of demons joined in

And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Johnny said

Well you're pretty good ol' son

You put down in that chair right there

And let me show you how it's done

Fire on the mountain run boys run

The devil's in the house of the risin' sun

Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough

Granny does your dog bite

No child no

I will 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

He's come on back

If you ever wanna try again

I done told you once

You son of a God

I'm the best there's ever been

He played fire on the mountain run boys run

The devil's in the house of the risin' sun

Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough

Granny will your dog bite

No child no
