Coyote Ugly movie - The Devil Went Down to Georgia lyrics

rate me

Song by The Charlie Daniels Band<br /><br>

The devil went down to Georgia <br>

He was lookin' for a soul to steal <br>

He was in a bind <br>

'Cause he was way behind <br>

And he was willin' to make a deal <br>

<br>

When he came upon this young man <br>

Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot <br>

And the devil jumped <br>

Up on a hickory stump <br>

And said boy let me tell you what <br>

<br>

I guess you didn't know it <br>

but I'm a fiddle player too <br>

And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you <br>

<br>

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy <br>

But give the devil his due <br>

I'll bet a fiddle of gold <br>

Against your soul <br>

'Cause I think I'm better than you <br>

<br>

The boy said my name's Johnny <br>

And it might be a sin <br>

But I'll take your bet <br>

And you're gonna regret <br>

'Cause I'm the best there's ever been <br>

<br>

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard <br>

Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards <br>

And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold <br>

But if you lose the devil gets your soul. <br>

<br>

The devil opened up his case <br>

And he said I'll start this show <br>

And fire flew from his fingertips <br>

As he rosined up his bow <br>

<br>

Then he pulled the bow across the strings <br>

And it made a [sic] evil hiss <br>

And a band of demons joined in <br>

And it sounded something like this <br>

<br>

[Instrumental] <br>

<br>

When the devil finished <br>

Johnny said well you're pretty good old son <br>

Just sit right in that chair right there <br>

And let me show you how it's done <br>

<br>

He played Fire on the Mountain <br>

Run boys, run <br>

The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun <br>

Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough <br>

Granny does your dog bite <br>

No child, no <br>

<br>

[Instrumental] <br>

<br>

The devil bowed his head <br>

Because he knew that he'd been beat <br>

And he laid that golden fiddle <br>

On the ground at Johnny's feet <br>

<br>

Johnny said, Devil just come on back <br>

If you ever wanna try again <br>

I done told you once you son of a bitch <br>

I'm the best there's ever been <br>

<br>

And he played Fire on the Mountain <br>

Run boys, run <br>

The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun <br>

Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough <br>

Granny does your dog bite <br>

No child, no <br>

<br>

[Instrumental to end]<br>
