Charlie Daniels Band Southern Rock The devil went back down to georgia Been ten long years since the devil laid his fiddle at Johnny's feet, and it burned inside his mind the way he suffered that defeat, in the darkest pits of hell the devil hatched an evil plan To tempt the fiddle player for he's just a mortal man The sin of pride the devil cried is what will do you in, "I thought we had this settled I'm the best that's ever been" Johnny did you ever know that time keeps marching on The coldest hour is the one comes just before the dawn. The devil's back in Georgia will you stand up to the test, Or will you let the devil be the best. Truth is I haven't played much since the baby came in June, But give me half a minute and I'll get this fiddle back in tune, The devil grabbed the golden fiddle out of Johnny's hand and said Boy I'm a fiddle player underground but now I walk upon the land. Y'all better just be turning back if y'all want this boy to win cause practice is the only cure for the predicament he's in Now devil it would be a sin for you to get my bow so you go on back to hell and to the woodshed I will go Johnny are you practicing or will your hands grow cold the devil wants the land and plays a fiddle made of gold. Can you hear the babe a cryin' will he ever know the devil wants his daddy's very soul Before I play I want to thank you for letting god's own word ring true he said you can't be trusted "yeah so what you going to do" Well you get your fiddle devil if you think you can win Cause I beat you once you old dog and I can whip your butt again John Brown's green the devil's red My little baby loves shortening bread The devil's dream's that he can win But Johnny's the best that's ever been |
