He was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sewing on a fiddle and playing it hot, and 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 fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due.
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul because 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.
You're going to regret, because I'm the best there's ever been.
Johnny, rouse up your bow and play your fiddle hard, because 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 roused 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.
