The Devil Went Down To Missouri The Devil went down to Missouri . He was lookin for souls to steal. He was in a bind cause he was way behind. (He knew his time is short and his days are numbered) He was willing to make a deal When he came across this young man sawin on a fiddle and playin it hot. And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said Boy, let me tell you what. I guess you didnt know it, but Im a fiddle player, too. And if youd care to take a dare Ill make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due. (Bible says to resist and the devil will flee) Ill bet a fiddle of gold against your soul cause I think Im better than you. The boy said, Im the messiah, and Im without sin, But Ill take your challenge; and youre gonna regret cause Im the best theres ever been. Messiah, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard. Cause Hells broke loose in Missouri and the Devil deals it hard. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold, But if you lose the devil gets your soul. The Devil opened up his case and he said, Ill start this show. And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow. And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss. And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this. When the Devil finished, the Messiah said, Well, youre pretty good ol son, But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you whose in charge. Fire on the Mountain. Run, boys, run! The Devils in the house of the rising sun; Chickens in the bread pan picking out dough. Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no. The Devil bowed his head because he knew that hed been beat. And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at the messiahs feet. MESSIAH said, Devil, back off you forgot who youre dealing with, I done told you once—you son of a liar—Im the best thats ever been. And he played: Fire on the Mountain. Run, boys, run! The Devils in the house of the rising sun; The chickens in the bread pan picking out dough. Granny, will your dog bite? No, child, no.
