The devil went down to Doak Campbell
He was looking for a win to steal
And he was in a bind
'Cause he was losing his mind
And he was willin' to make a deal.

When he came upon this young man coaching
and making his last stand
the devil jumped up on a hickory
stump and said,
"Dadgumit listen to me man:

I bet you didn't know it
but I'm a football coach too,
And if you care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you recruit pretty good players boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a football of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My name's Ronnie
And my team's in disarray
But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret
'Cause my ass is fired anyway."

Johnny you coach up your boys and yell at 
the Pi Kap's 'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the Dawgs have gained a lap
And if you win you get this shiny football made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said,
"I'll start this game."
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he struggled with a player's name
And he pulled on his headset
And it made an evil hiss
Then his assistant coaches took over
And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Ronnie said,
"Well you didn't even coach ol' son!
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done!"

Fired by the machen, run boys run
Devil's in the house of stained glass pun
Statue's on the sidewalk, pointing out woe
Mark do your dawgs bite? No, child, no

 
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat,
And his son laid that golden football
On the ground at Ronnie's feet
Ronnie said, "Devil, just come on back
if you wanna coach forever.
I done told you once,
You son-of-a-bitch,
We're gettin' better and better!"

He played:
Fired by the machen, run boys run
Devil's in the house of stained glass pun
Statue's on the sidewalk, pointing out woe
Mark do your dawgs bite? No, child, no
