Blues Traveler ~ The Devil Went Down To Georgia


Original performer: charlie daniels band The devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal He was in a bind, cause he was way behind And he was willing to make a deal Well he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and he played it hot The devil jumped up on a hickory stump And said "boy, let me tell you what In case you didn't know it, i'm a fiddle player too And if you care to make a dare I'll make a bet with you Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul Cause i think i'm better than you" Well the boy said "my name's johnny, and it might be a sin But i'll take your bet you're gonna regret Cause i'm the best there's ever been" Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard Cause hell's broke loose in georgia And the devil deals the cards And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold But if you lose the devil gets your soul The devil opened up his case, and said, "i'll start this show" And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss And a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this When the devil finished, johnny said, "well you're pretty good old son But just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done" He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run The devil's in the house with the rising sun, Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough, Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no" The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet And johnny said, "devil, come on back if you ever want to try again But i told you once, you son of a bitch, i'm the best there's ever been!" He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run The devil's in the house with the rising sun Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no" more free lyrics

Original performer: charlie daniels band

The devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind, cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal

Well he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and he played it hot
The devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said "boy, let me tell you what

In case you didn't know it, i'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to make a dare
I'll make a bet with you

Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
Cause i think i'm better than you"

Well the boy said "my name's johnny, and it might be a sin
But i'll take your bet you're gonna regret
Cause i'm the best there's ever been"

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in georgia
And the devil deals the cards

And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case, and said, "i'll start this show"
And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow
When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this

When the devil finished, johnny said, "well you're pretty good old son
But just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done"

He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house with the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough,
Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no"

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet
And johnny said, "devil, come on back if you ever want to try again
But i told you once, you son of a bitch, i'm the best there's ever been!"

He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house with the rising sun
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no"

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
