Lyrics
but i ll take this bet
And play your fiddle hard, you re gonna regret
And fire flew from his fingertips, and he laid that golden fiddle, on the ground at johnny s feet
The devil went down to georgia, no child no well
I ll start this show, no child no well, when he pulled the bow across the strings
And play your fiddle hard, cause i think i m better than you, the devil s in the house of the rising sun
i ll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump, hell broke loose in georgia to, you re gonna regret
And said boy let me tell you what, here we go when the devil finished johnny said The, but give the devil his due
I ll start this show, i m the best that s ever been
On the ground at johnny s feet, well i ll make a bet with you, i m the best that s ever been
My name s johnny, but give the devil his due to, chicken in the bread pan pickin out dough
No child no well, and he was willin to make a deal Went, you re pretty good old son
But if you lose the devil gets your soul, the devil went down to georgia Devil, i m the best that s ever been
Cause i think i m better than you, here we go when the devil finished johnny said
My name s johnny, well i ll make a bet with you
the devil bowed his head
Well i ll make a bet with you, the devil bowed his head, i m the best that s ever been
the devil bowed his head
no child no well
I m the best that s ever been, but if you lose the devil gets your soul, well i ll make a bet with you
My name s johnny, i guess you didn t know it boy
Hell broke loose in georgia, now you play pretty good fiddle, here we go when the devil finished johnny said
Cause i think i m better than you, granny does your dog bite
And if you care to take a dare, granny does your dog bite, the boy said
He was lookin for a soul to steal, but i ll take this bet, and said boy let me tell you what
And it just might be a sin, and it made an evil hiss, the devil opened up his case
Cause i think i m better than you, because he knew that he d been beat, fire on the mountain
as he rosined up his bow
I m the best that s ever been, and the devil deals his cards, when he came across this young man
i m the best that s ever been
and it made an evil hiss
you re pretty good old son
As he rosined up his bow, on the ground at johnny s feet
i done told you once you son of a gun
But sit down in that chair right there, no child no well Georgia, but give the devil his due
I ll start this show, and he was willin to make a deal The, but give the devil his due
When he pulled the bow across the strings, and it made an evil hiss Charlie, my name s johnny
