Grage went down to Kaian's, he was looking for a chump to beat.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man playin' a guitar and playin' it hot.
And Grage jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good guitar, boy, but give the demon his due:
"I bet a guitar of gold against your life, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Kaian and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Kaian you rosin up your hand and play your guitar hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Kaian's and Grage deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny guitar made of gold.
But if you lose, Grage gets your life.

Grage opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he tuned up his guitar.
And he pulled his fingers across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.

*fourty hour guitar solos alternating between Kaian and Grage*

When Grage finished, Kaian said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"Just sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the mount, run boys, run.
Grage's in the house of the risin' sun.
Monkey in the bread pin, pickin' out dough.
"Jared, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

*more fourty hour solos*

Grage bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden guitar on the ground at Kaian's feet.
Kaian said: "Grage 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 mount, run boys, run.
Grage's in the house of the risin' sun.
Monkey in the bread pin pickin' out dough.
"Jared, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."
