Korn, Yelawolf - The Devil Went Down To Georgia lyrics

[Korn, Yelawolf - The Devil Went Down To Georgia lyrics]

The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind ’cause he was way behind
He was willing to make a deal
When he came upon this young
Man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory
Stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn’t know it
But I'm a fiddle player, too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'cause I think I'm better than you"

The boy said, "My name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I’ll take your bet
And you’re gonna regret
'cause I’m the best there's ever been"

Johnny, rosin up your bow and
Play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and
The Devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this
Shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul

The Devil opened up his case and he said
"I’ll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as
He rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this:

When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well
You're pretty good ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there and
Let me show you how it's done"

"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run!
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no

The Devil bowed his head because he
Knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on
The ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil
Just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once- you son of a bitch
-I'm the best there's ever been" he played:

"Fire on the Mountain" Run, boys, run!
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough
Granny, will your dog bite? No, child, no
