The Devil's words are in red, and Johnny's words are in blue. Here ya go:The Devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a soul to steal,And he was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind, and he was willin’ to make a deal.When he came across this young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot,The Devil jumped on a hickory stump and said, “Boy, let me tell you what:I’ll bet you didn’t know that 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 mighty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due.I’ll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, ‘cause I think I’m better than you.”And 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 that’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.Now 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 said, “I’ll start this show,”And fire blew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.He pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.A band of demons joined in, and it sounded somethin’ like this.(Instrumental)When the Devil finished, Johnny said, “Well you’re pretty good, old son!But sit back in that chair right there and let me show you how it’s done!”He played:Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.The Devil’s in the house of the rising sun.Chicken in the breadpan pecking at dough.Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no.(Instrumental)The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat.And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet.And Johnny said, “Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again,‘Cause I told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the best that’s ever been!”And he played:Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.The Devil’s in the house of the rising sun.Chicken in the breadpan pecking at dough.Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no.(Instrumental)</blockquote>
