--- lyrics ---
Well 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 across 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"

"You probably didn't know it
But I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare
I'll just 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
I think I'm better than you"

The boy said, "My name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'm gonna take your bet, you're gonna regret
I'm the best there's ever been"

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause 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 rosined up his bow

And then he pulled his bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the Devil finished
Johnny said, "Well you're pretty good old son
But you just sit down in that chair right there
I'm gonna show you how this stuff's done"

Fire on the mountain, run boys, run
The Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' at dough
Granny does your dog bite? No child, no

Well that ol' Devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
Down 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"

He played, 'Fire on the Mountain', run boys, run
The Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' at dough
Granny does your dog bite? No child, no

--- lyrics ---
she loved without a reason
gave it away
it made my eyes go blind

snuff another treason
I'm inclined to stop
before every winking eye

and I don't know
on which road to go
so let the wheels decide

spare another reason
but don't spare your thoughts
she'll ask you why you even tried

and I don't know
on which road to go
so let the wheels decide

by the tip of the lip of the place you don't go
every single day you're trying harder every day, yeah
heavy as the saints' cool countenance in the press
to be blessed with the rest of the blessed so

give another cheer when the language is on
she'll slip by the lips of the lines in your palm and
pray for the day where they're praying out her psalms
even though she knows it's wrong she knows it's wrong she knows it's

take what you will but I ask to spare me the smile
she sleeps on the docks when the water is tidal
breathes in the waves when the bearings all have fled
now she looks out of the front of the backside of her head
when the killing is kind and the moment is final

if you play it by the book you'll see the book'll play you back
as you're running out of the time you'll see them pulling in the slack
denied

if you hook another look you'll see yourself is staring back with
shoulders slumped and sugar when the body starts to crack
your mind

tip on the lip of the truth stump, oh
every single day you're trying harder every day, yeah
heavy as the saints' cool countenance in the press
to be blessed with the rest of the blessed so

give another cheer when the language is on
she'll slip by the lips of the lines in your palm and
pray for the day where they're praying out her psalms
even though she knows it's wrong she knows it's wrong she knows it's

Impossible!
