Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Devil Went Down To Georgia - Johnny Cash & Travis Tritt
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Johnny Cash



Devil Went Down to Georgia



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 practicing 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 shortenin and bread

The devil's dream is that he can win

But Johnny is the best that's ever been
