    “The devil bowed his head cuz he knew that he’d been beat and laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet.”

    Competition has always been a fine part of being a human. Betting as well. I’m still wondering which Roman family has Jesus’ fine robe.

    The devil lost. He conceded.

      The song is written as if it’s told by an onlooker. To suggest that the devil lost is an assumption that the devil is honest and plays by the rules.
