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 willin' to make a deal 

When he came upon this young man 
Sawin' 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 guess you didn't know it 
but I'm a fiddle player too 
And if you 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

John-ny ros-in up your bow 
3     3    3   3   2   3
and play your fid-dle hard 
3       3      3     3   -2   3   3
Cause hell's broke loose in Geor-gia 
3    3  -3  -3   3   -1   -1
and the dev-il deals the cards 
-3  -3 -3  -3  -3  -3   -3
And if you win you get this

Shin-y fid-dle made of gold 
3   -3 -3    -3 -3  -3  -3  -3   -3   -3
But if you lose the dev-il 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 

Then he pulled the bow across the strings 
And it made a [sic] evil hiss 
And a band of demons joined in 
And it sounded something like this:

When the dev-il fin-ished 
John-ny said well you're pret-ty good old son 
Just sit right in that chair right there 
And let me show you how it's done 
He played

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
