Watching my boys play How different my life was, I was a wreck Now machines control people People shoot at kids Sure think about what the next thing is Johnny, ole Johnny, where did you go The devil's broke out of Georgia And he's feasting on our soul There's fire on the mountain The flames are closing in So run get your fiddle and bow And send him to hell again Get back to hell again Yeah, I know redemption comes It's taking way too long Can't you see it in our faces Can't you hear it in our songs Yeah, we're holding on to hope But we're hanging by a thread Won't you put on your rattlesnake boots And crush that serpent's head Yeah Johnny, ole Johnny, where did you go The devil's broke out of Georgia And he's feasting on our soul There's fire on the mountain The flames are closing in So run get your fiddle and bow And send him to hell again Yeah, back to hell again There's chicken in the bread pan picking out bits Granny's dog don't bite these days, yeah Johnny, there's fire on the mountain The flames are closing in So run get your fiddle and bow And send him to hell again Yeah, back to hell again Back to hell again There's fire on the mountain There's fire on the mountain, run boys run The devil's in the house of the rising sun
