It's 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 there'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?

"In truth I haven't played much since the
baby came in June But give me half a minute an'
I'll get this fiddle back in tune"

The devil grabbed the golden fiddle out of
Johnny's hand and said "Though I'm the fiddle
player underground and I walk upon the land"

"Y'all just better be just turnin' back if
you want this boy to win 'Cos practice is the only
cure for the predicament he's in"

"Now devil it would be a sin for you to get
my bow You go on back to hell and to the wood shed
I will go"

Johnny are you practising or will your hands grow
cold? The devil walks the land and plays a fiddle
made of gold Can you hear the babe a crying, will
he ever know The devil wants his daddy's very
soul?

"Before we play I want to thank you for
letting God's own Word ring true He said you can't
be trusted" "Yes but what you gonna
do?" "Well you get your fiddle devil if
you think that you can win 'Cos I beat you once
you old dog and I can whip your butt again"

John Brown's green, the devil is red Mama's little
baby loves shortnin' bread The devil's dream is
that he can win But Johnny is the best that's ever
been
