I'm going to learn this song on the Mandolin one day
The devil went down to Texas, he was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cuz he was way behind and he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came accross this young man pickin'' a mandolin and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what.
I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a mando player, too.
And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now, you play a pretty good mandolin, boy, but give the devil his due.
I'll bet a 8-string of gold against your soul, 'cuz I think I'm better than you."
The boy said, "My name's Tibby and it might be a sin
but I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best that's ever been."
