[00:02.51] The Charlie Daniels Band
[00:05.92] The Devil Went Down To Georgia
[00:09.23]
[00:11.61]
[00:17.02] The devil went down to Georgia He was lookin' for a soul to steal
[00:20.30] He was in a bind 'Cause he was way behind And he was willin' to make a deal
[00:23.85] When he came upon this young man Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
[00:27.22] And the devil jumped Up on a hickory stump And said boy let me tell you what
[00:31.04] I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
[00:34.21] And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
[00:37.90] Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy But give the devil his due
[00:41.26] I'll bet a fiddle of gold Against your soul 'Cause I think I'm better than you
[00:45.17] The boy said my name's Johnny And it might be a sin
[00:48.38] But I'll take your bet And you're gonna regret 'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
[00:52.37] Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
[00:55.56] Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
[00:59.22] And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
[01:02.96] But if you lose the devil gets your soul.
[01:06.50]
[01:14.40] The devil opened up his case And he said I'll start this show
[01:17.69] And fire flew from his fingertips As he rosined up his bow
[01:21.02] Then he pulled the bow across the strings And it made a
[01:24.44] And a band of demons joined in And it sounded something like this
[01:27.84]
[02:04.32] When the devil finished Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
[02:07.77] Just sit right in that chair right there And let me show you how it's done
[02:11.16] Fire on the Mountain Run boys, run
[02:14.97] The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
[02:18.55] Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
[02:22.39] Granny does your dog bite No child, no
[02:24.00]
[02:45.93] The devil bowed his head Because he knew that he'd been beat
[02:49.14] And he laid that golden fiddle On the ground at Johnny's feet
[02:52.31] Johnny said, Devil just come on back If you ever wanna try again
[02:55.75] I done told you once you son of a bitch I'm the best there's ever been And he played
[02:59.76] Fire on the Mountain Run boys, run
[03:03.36] The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
[03:06.95] Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
[03:10.63] Granny does your dog bite No child, no
[03:12.60]
