The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bag, but he was way behind, he was willing to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sewing on a fiddle and playing it hot,
and the devil jumped up on a hickory stump [G] and said,
Boy, let me tell you what, [Eb] I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due.
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, because I think I'm better than you.
The boy said, My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin,
but I'll take your bet, and you're gonna regret it, because I'm the best there's ever been.
[Ebm] Johnny, rouse up your bow and [Db] play your fiddle hard,
[Abm] because hell's broke loose in Georgia [Ebm] and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win, you get this shiny [Abm] fiddle made of [Bb] gold,
but if you lose, the devil gets your soul.
[F] [Ebm] [Db]
[Bb]
[Db] [Eb] The devil opened up his case and he said, I'll start this show,
and fire flew from his fingertips as he roused up his [Eb] bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something [Bbm] like this.

When the devil finished, Johnny said, Well, you're pretty good, old son,
but sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done.
[Eb] Fire on the man to run, boy, it's the huff.
[Db] The devil turned the house up, the rising sun.
Chicken in the bread, and the chicken out, though.
Rattlers, you don't like no town, though.
All [Bb] right, welcome to Gilley's Rodeo.
[Db] [Bb] Okay, [Db] now we got a couple of clowns here tonight, too.
A couple [Bb] of real funny bones.
Get in there.
[Bb] Okay, hey, folks.
[Db] [Ebm] This country the same way.
[Abm] Now, each judge is gonna give [B] one to 25 points for the bull,
one to 25 points for the ratter,
or a combined possible score of 100 points.
[Eb] Now, the five top contestants tonight are gonna [Db] compete in a short go-around,
and we're gonna combine this [Eb] score on this ride with the score on that ride,
and out of that, we're gonna have the [Db] winner of that five-five.
[B] [Db]
[Bb] [Db] First contestant [Bb] up there, Howard Henson.

[Bm] [Bb]
[Bb] You bet.
