Devil went down to Georgia and [G] was looking for soul to steal, looking for a [Bm] bang, looking his way behind, he was willing to make a deal.
When he came across this young man selling him a fiddle and playing it hot, the devil jumped upon a hick or stump and said,
Boy, let me tell you what, [Am] [D]
you probably didn't even know it, but I'm a good player too, and if you care to take a dare, well, I'll make a bet with you.
[Bm] Now, you've got [E] a pretty good fiddle, boy, but let's give the devil his due.
I've got [Bm] a fiddle of gold that'll get you so good, you'll think I'm [Am] better than you.
[D] Boy, my name's Johnny, and [G] it might be a [Bm] sin, but I'm gonna take that bet you're gonna regret, cause I'm the best ever bet.
[Dm] Johnny, you rolled up your bow [C] and played your fiddle hard, [Gm] I was helpful to loose in Georgia [Dm] and the devil used the cards.
