The Levellers - The Devil Went Down To Georgia скачать видео бесплатно

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 was willing to make a deal.

When he came across this young boy sawing on a fiddle

And playing it hot.

And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said,

"Boy let me tell you what:

I bet you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too,

And if you 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'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul,

'Cause 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, your gonna regret,

'Cause I'm the best that'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 get this shiny fiddle made of gold,

But if you lose the devil gets your soul.

So devil opened up his case, said:

"I guess I'll start this show".

And fire flew from his fingertips,

As he rosined up his bow.

And he drew that bow across the strings

And it made an evil hiss.

Then a band of demons joined in

And it sounded just like this.

So the devil finished, Johnny said:

"Well you're pretty good old son!

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.

Devil's in the house of the rising sun.

Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough.

Friend did you take bite?

No, child, no. No.

So devil bowed his head,

Because he knew that he'd been beat.

He laid that golden fiddle

On the ground at Johnny's feet.

And Johnny said: "Devil, just come on back,

If you ever wanna try again.

'Cause I told you once,

You son-of-a-god,

I'm the best that's ever been!"

He played:

Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.

Devil's in the house of the rising sun.

Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough.

Friend did you take bite?

No, child, no. No.
