The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind, he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
He came across these two boys
One on guitar, one on bass
Beautiful girls tearin' at their clothes
They were tearin' up the place

Devil went up to them and said:
"I'm a guitar player too
And if you care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
You pretty boys play pretty good
But give the Devil his duеs
I'll bet guitars of gold
Up against your souls
To think I'm better than you"

Thе boys thought it over
And after a couple of minutes had passed
Said, "We'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
We're gonna kick your ass"

You boys loosen up your hands
And play your guitars hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the Devil deals at heart
If you win, you get
These shiny guitars made of gold
But if you lose, the Devil gets your soul
Shaun said, "I don't want no heavy bass
I can't throw around on stage"
The Devil said
"How 'bout the girl of your dreams?"
And Shaun accepted his wage

The Devil opened up his case
And he said, "I'll start the show"
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he warmed up for his show
He ran his fingers across the strings
And it made evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the Devil finished, the boys said
"Well, you're pretty good, ole son
Now sit down in that chair right there
And let us show you how it's done"

Fire in the mountains
Run, boys, run
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
What that has to do with it, nobody knows
Here we go
The Devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
Shaun's girl appeared
As the Devil laid the golden guitar
At Steve Paul's feet
The boys said, "Devil, come on back
If you ever wanna try again
We told you once, you son of a bitch
We're the best there's ever been"

Fire in the mountains
Run, boys, run
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
What that has to do with it, nobody knows
Here we go
