The Devil Went Down to Georgia — текст песни (blues traveler)





Original performer: charlie daniels band



The devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal

He was in a bind, cause he was way behind

And he was willing to make a deal



Well he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and he played it hot

The devil jumped up on a hickory stump

And said "boy, let me tell you what



In case you didnt know it, Im a fiddle player too

And if you care to make a dare

Ill make a bet with you



Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due

Ill bet a fiddle of gold against your soul

Cause I think Im better than you"



Well the boy said "my names johnny, and it might be a sin

But Ill take your bet youre gonna regret

Cause Im the best theres 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 youll get this shiny fiddle made of gold

But if you lose the devil gets your soul

The devil opened up his case, and said, "ill start this show"

And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow

When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss

And a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this



When the devil finished, johnny said, "well youre pretty good old son

But just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how its done"



He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run

The devils in the house with the rising sun,

Chicken 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

And johnny said, "devil, come on back if you ever want to try again

But I told you once, you son of a bitch, Im the best theres ever been!"



He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run

The devils in the house with the rising sun

Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough

Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no"
