Did you know?
The Devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind; he was way behind and was willin' to make a deal.
Then he came across this young boy sawin' a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what:
Now I guess you didn't know this, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you 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 my fiddle of gold against your soul 'cuz I think I'm better'n you."
The boy said, "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin...
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret it, 'cuz I'm the best there's ever been."
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cuz hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cars.
Now, if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made o' gold...
But if you lose, the Devil gits your soul!
The devil opened up his case and said "I'll start this show".
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
Then he pulled that bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss...
and a band of demons joined in. It sounded somethin' like this: (solo)
When the devil finished Johnny said "Well you're pretty good, ol Son.
Now sit down in that chair right there: lemme show you how it's done!
Fire on the mountain, run boys run!
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in a bread pan, pickin' out dough.
Granny, does your dog bite? No, Child, no."
(solo)
The Devil bowed his head because he knew 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 wanna try again.
I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been!"
Now sit down in that chair right there: lemme show you how it's done!
Fire on the mountain, run boys run!
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in a bread pan, pickin' out dough.
Granny, does your dog bite? No, Child, no."
