That is exactly how I ended up here. Didn't you?
But then I took his Bass.
One day I was down in Georgia slapping on my bass and playing it hot. Then 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 Bass player too, and if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good Bass boy, but give the devil his due, I'll bet a Bass of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."
I said, "My name is Bigbottom, 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."
And it was on.
Then Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat, and he laid that golden Bass on the ground at my feet. Then I said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again, I done told you once, you son of a nothing, I'm the best that's ever been."
I would post a picture, but its image can not be captured on camera.![]()
