   Johnny was a country boy
  Made his living off the land
  Every Saturday night he'd play the guitar
  With the boys in the local band
  
  Now the devil he played with golden fingers
  Near the waters he did dwell
  Made your backbone shiver, when you walked by the river
  And you listened to his tunes from hell
  
  The river runs on so freely, the river runs to the sea
  Johnny sold his soul to the devil down below
  Who will never more set him free
  And he never can again be free
  
  Johnny talked to the river
  Shouted into the deep
  You can have my soul if you give me your guitar
  Make her laugh, make her mourn and weep
  
  Up came the devil and he spoke to Johnny
  You'll be the best in all the land
  You'll play hot, you'll play well, as the fires from hell
  But your soul will be at my command
  
  The river runs on so freely, the river runs to the sea
  Johnny sold his soul to the devil down below
  Who will never more set him free
  And he never can again be free
  
  Johnny can jive and Johnny can boogie
  Let the music flow so free
  Play the strings so you can hear them ring
  Through the bayou country
  
  Now the people came from near and far
  When they heard about the guitar-man
  Johnny's voice got hoarse and his fingers were all bloody
  But his playing never took an end
  
  Sometimes in the dead of night
  There's music sounding through the trees
  The devil plays a tune on the bank of the river
  Johnny's soul sings harmony
  
  The river runs on so freely, the river runs to the sea
  Johnny sold his soul to the devil down below
  Who will never more set him free
  And he never can again be free
