Devil went down to Vegas

Sung to the song Devil went down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels




The devil went down to Vegas, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man playing cards and dealin' em’ hot.
And the devil jumped upon a padded chair and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a Poker player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good Hold’em, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a Bracelet of gold against your soul, 'cos 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, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny you raise him up real slow and play your reads real hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Vegas and Jack Binion deals the cards.
Now if you win you get this shiny bracelet made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up with Kings and said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he won but didn’t show.
He pulled the chips across the felt and they made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons cheered him on and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the pot from under the gun.
Drown him on the river with a five card run.
Pickin up blinds, takin' his dough.
"What are the pot odds?"
"No, fish knows."

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden bracelet on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

And he played Fire on the pot from under the gun.
Drown him on the river with a five card run.
Pickin up blinds, takin' his dough.
"What are the odds?"
"No, fish knows."
