This is a classic. My pa used to sing this to me as a lullaby: The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band The devil went down to Georgia When he came across this young man He said, "I guess you didn't know it "Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy The boy said "My name's Johnny, Johnny resin up your bow The devil opened up his case And he pulled the bow across the strings When the devil finished, Johnny said Fire on the mountain, run boys run The devil bowed his head Johnny said "Devil, just come on back He played... (Take that, SHOKAI).
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.
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."
But I'm a fiddle player too;
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you."
But give the devil his due;
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul'
Cause I think I'm better than you."
And it might be a sin;
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best that's ever been."
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.
And said "I'll start this show";
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he resined up his bow.
And it made an evil hiss;
Then a band a' demons joined in
And it sounded something like this.
"Well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair, right there
And let me show you how its done."
Devil's in the house of the rising sun.
Chicken in the bread, pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite, no child no.
Because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet.
If you ever want to try again.
I done told you once, you son of a gun
I'm the best that's ever been."
Fire on the mountain, run boys run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun.
Chicken in the bread, pan pickin' out dough
Granny will your dog bite, no child no.
