It's been ten long years sinceThe devil laid his fiddle at Johnny's feetAnd it burned inside his mindThe way he suffered that defeatIn the darkest pits of hellThe devil hatched an evil planTo tempt the fiddle player forHe's just a mortal man"The sin of pride," the devilCried is what will do you in"I thought we had this settled,I'm the best there's ever been."Johnny did you ever knowThat time keeps marching onThe coldest hour is the oneComes just before the dawnThe devil's back in GeorgiaWill you stand up to the testOr will you let the devil be the best?"In truth I haven't played muchSince the baby came in JuneBut give me half a minute an'I'll get this fiddle back in tune"The devil grabbed the goldenFiddle out of Johnny's hand and said"Though I'm the fiddle playerUnderground 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 forThe predicament he's in""Now devil it would be a sinFor you to get my bowYou go on back to hell and toThe wood shed I will go"Johnny are you practicing orWill your hands grow cold?The devil walks the land andPlays a fiddle made of goldCan you hear the babe a crying,Will he ever knowThe devil wants his daddy's very soul?"Before we play I want toThank you for letting God'sOwn Word ring trueHe said you can't be trusted""Yes but what you gonna do?""Well you get your fiddle devil ifYou think that you can win'Cos I beat you once you old dogAnd I can whip your butt again"John Brown's green, the devil is redMama's little baby loves shortenin and breadThe devil's dream is that he can winBut Johnny is the best that's ever beenby Reinaldo Neves
