The Devil Went Down To Georgia
written and originally recorded by the Charlie Daniels Band

The Devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind
And he was lookin' to make a deal
When he came up on this young boy pickin' the guitar and playin' it hot
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar picker too
And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now, you pick a pretty good guitar, son, but give the Devil his too
I got a guitar of gold against your soul that says I'm better than you"
The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, I'm the best there's ever been"

Johnny you sharpen up your licks and play that guitar hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win you get that shiny guitar made of gold
But if you lose the Devil gets your soul

The Devil opened up his case and said, "I'll start this ____"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he started to pick
And he ran his tongue on down the neck, and it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in, and it sounded something like this

Well, the Devil finished, and Johnny said, "You're pretty good old son, but your ___ down right there and let me show you how it's done"

Fire on the mountain, run boys run
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite, no child, no

The Devil dropped his jaw and said, "Holy _______ ____"
And dropped that golden guitar at Johnny's muddy feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again
But I told you once you son of ____, I'm the best there's ever been"

Fire on the mountain, run boys run
Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite, no child,____ no
