The devil went down to Scunthorpe, looking for a soul to steal
|
In a bind an' way behind he was willin' to make a deal.
|
He came across this young man pickin' on a guitar, playing it hot an'
|
An' the devil jumped on a hickory stump an' said 'I'll tell ya what'
|
I guess you didn't know it, I'm a guitar player too,
|
and if you care to take a dare I make a bet with you.
|
Now you play a real good guitar boy, but give the devil his due,
|
I'll bet a guitar of gold against you soul 'cause i think i'm better then you.
|
|
The boy said my name's Johnny, it might be a sin, i'll take your bet
|
You're gonna regret, I'm the best I've ever been.
|
|
Johnny rosen up your pick an' play your guitar hard
|
'cause hell's broke loose in scunthorpe an' the devil deals the cards.
|
Now if you win you'll get this shinny guitar made of gold,
|
but if you loose the devil gets your soul!
|
|
The devil opened up his case and said 'i'll start this gig'
|
and fire flew from his finger tips as he rosened up his pick.
|
He strummed the pick across the strings it made an evil hiss
|
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded somthing like this
|
|
When the devil finished Johnny said 'You're pretty good ol' son,
|
but sit down in that chair right there let me show you how it's done!'
|
|
Fire on the mountain run boy's run!
|
Devil's in the house of the risen sun!
|
Chicken in the bread pan picken 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 gitar on the ground at Johnny's feet.
|
Johnny said 'devil just come on back if you ever want to try again,
|
I done told you once you son of a bitch i'm the best I've ever been!'
|
|
Fire on the mountain run boy's run!
|
Devil's in the house of the risen sun!
|
Chicken in the bread pan picken out dough!
|
Granny does your dog bite, no child, no!
