But this song is about most music performers and actors. Problem is, they weren't as good as Johnny. They made their deal with the Devil to make it. And when the Devil comes a calling for their souls they lost...:

The Devil Went Down to Georgia (1979)

Charlie Daniels Band

The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal.

He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and 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 didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.

And if you'd 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; 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 get this shiny fiddle made of gold,

But if you lose the Devil gets your soul.
