Pretty sure every world's got folk songs. Ballads. Songs that tell stories. The kind you feel like pretty much everyone knows for one reason or another. That kind of thing. Whatever you wanna call em.

So hey everyone, what are your favorites from home? Happy, sad, scary, epic, funny, whatever. I'm curious.

Bonus points if you hum a few bars. Bonus bonus points if you sing it. Or something.

Oh yeah? What's the story? [ He grins. ] What's Georgia and why would a devil wanna go there?

Georgia is the state I'm from back home.

So the story is that the devil was behind on on collecting souls, so he went to Georgia looking for someone to make a deal with. He came across a man named Johnny who was playing the fiddle. So he told Johnny that he was willing to place a bet since he played, too. If Johnny won, he'd get a fiddle made of gold, but if he lost, the devil got his soul.

[ Ah, state. So, someone from Earth. Got it! ]

Damn. That sounds pretty intense. Does Johnny win? Or is it one of those things where there are different versions or somethin'?

Before they started, The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, and you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best there's ever been."

The Devil played, but knew that he'd lost. He told the Devil that if he ever wanted to try again that he would lose.

[ Low whistle! ] That guy's got some balls -- but apparently he's also got the skills to back it up, so that's just awesome. Hah. Was this based on a true story? Or just made up?

[postocular]

I'm pretty sure it's just a made up country song. It's played with a fiddle and some guitars.
