The Devil Went Down To Georgia 歌詞
The devil went down to Georgia.
He was looking for a soul to steal.
And he was in a bind Cause he was way behind
And was willin to make a deal.
When he came across a young man playing on a fiddle and playin it hot.
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
and said,'Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didnt know it but Im a fiddle player too,
And if you care to take a dare, Ill make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy. But give the devil his due
Ill bet a fiddle of gold against your soul Cause I think Im better than you.'
The boy said, 'My names Johnny And it might be a sin.
But Ill take your bet, your gonna regret Cause Im the best thats ever been .'
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard Cause hells 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,'Ill 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
Then a band of demons joined in And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished Johnny said,'Well youre pretty good ol son!
But sit down in that chair right there And let me show you how its done!'
Fire on the mountain, run boys run
Devils in the house of the rising sun
Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no
The devil bowed his head Because he knew that hed been beat,
And he laid that golden fiddle On the ground at Johnnys feet
Johnny said, 'Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again.
I done told you once, You son-of-a -*****,
Im the best thats ever been!'
He played: Fire on the mountain, run boys run
Devils in the house of the rising sun
Chickens in the breadpan , picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no
