The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a fight, because he was way behind and he was willing to make it.
He came across this young boy, saw him on the fiddle, he was hot, and the devil jumped
up on a hippo and stomped his little boy on the tail once.
In case you didn't know it, I'm a fiddle player too, and if you care to take a dare, I'd make
a bet with you.
You're a pretty good old son, but won't [D] you give the devil his due?
[Dm] I got a fiddle of gold against your soul, so [E] I think I'll bet with [Dm] you.
Well, the boy said, my name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet,
you're going to regret it, because I'm the best that you've ever been.
Johnny, you're riding out there, [C] balling, and you're getting hard.
[Gm] You're a world-leading [E] joker, and the [D] devil's in your [Dm] heart.
If you win, you get [C] your share, and you'll be made a god, [A] lord.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

[A]
[E] [Dm] The devil opened up his cage, and he said, I'll start the show.
Fire proof your fingers, if you rub another's bow.
And he pulled that bow across the strings, and it made an evil hiss.
