The Devil Went Down on Georgia

Lyrics

(inspired by but not the same music as the original ) Verse The Devil went down on Georgia, He was lookin' for a soul to tease. He was feelin' bold, and truth be told, He was itchin' for a little release. When he came across this fiery girl, Dancin' in the midnight air, The Devil tipped his hat and said, "Girl, you got that devil-may-care." "I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a pleaser too," he grinned, "And if you care to take a dare, I'll show you where I've been. Now you strut so sweet, and you taste so fine, I'll lay my pride upon the line — If you let me under that southern sky, I'll show you a helluva time." Georgia said, "My daddy warned me 'bout your kind, you rogue, But I've got a wild side too, so go on, strike your pose!" She slipped her hands along his jaw, And whispered low and sly, "If you're gonna play down in my field, You better kiss the ground goodbye." Chorus Fire in the bayou, heat on the breeze, Moonlight melting down through the trees. Satin and smoke, and a slow, low moan — The Devil's got Georgia in a world of her own. The Devil laid low with a wicked grin, Took his time with a Southern spin, Every kiss a little sin, Georgia just pulled him in. Verse When the morning broke through pine and oak, Georgia laughed and twirled, She'd played that Devil like a fiddle and bow — And she owned the whole damn world. He said, "Girl, you are a wildfire — You burned me to the bone." She just smiled and tipped her hat, Said, "That's what you get for comin' down my road." (Chorus Repeat) Fire in the bayou, heat on the breeze, Moonlight melting down through the trees. Satin and smoke, and a slow, low moan — The Devil's got Georgia in a world of her own. (Outro) The Devil went down on Georgia, But Georgia ran the show — She turned that red-hot sinner Into a puddle on the floor.
