Disclaimer: I do not own FMA and the song is originally written by Charlie Daniels and band.
Oh and there is obviously spoilers for chap 74.
Greed walked up to the small boy who ironically was the oldest of his homunculi brethren. Selim looked on, unaware that the once prince of Xing stood beside him. Beyond them their father sat in his usual spot, his chin grazing his chest. It was a sight that the newly reborn homunculus was not familiar with.
"Pride-san," Greed spoke at last as he looked on with the boy, "What's Dad up to?"
He turned to face Greed with an emotionless face and answered, "He's sleeping."
Surprised at the answer, Greed crossed his arms and pondered aloud. "Huh." He said to himself shortly, "Two rare sights in one day." He paused for a moment and mused quietly, "Wonder what he's dreamin' about?"
"Well," Pride replied absentmindedly as he pulled out a fiddle and rosined it up, "I'll tell you." He began playing a jaunty fiddlin' tune.
"The
homunculus went down to Amestris, he was looking for a soul to
steal
He was in a bind, cause he was way behind
And he was
willing to make a deal
Well he come across a young man a
moppin' the floor and moppin' it hot
The homunculus popped
into a test tube flask
And said "boy, let me tell you what
In case you didn't know
it, I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to make a dare
I'll
make a bet with you
Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but
give the homunculus his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your
soul
Cause I think I'm better than you"
The boy said
'my name's Van Hohenheim and you might be a sin
But I'll take
your bet you're gonna regret
Cause I'm the best there's ever
been.'
Hoho rosin up your bow and play your fiddle
hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Amestris
And the homunculi
deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle
made of gold
But if you lose the homunculus gets your soul
The
homunculus opened up his case, and said, 'i'll start this show'
And
fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow
When he
pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss
And a
band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this." Pride paused
and sawed a crazy tune on the fiddle.
"When the devil
finished, Hohenheim said, 'Well you're pretty good old son
But
just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's
done!'
He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The
devil's in the house with the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan
picking out dough,
Granny does your dog bite, 'no, child,
no'
The homunculus bowed his head because he knew that he'd
been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Hoho's
feet
And Hohenheim said, 'devil, come on back if you ever want
to try again
But I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the
best there's ever been!'
He played fire on the mountain,
run, boys, run
The devil's in the house with the rising
sun
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough
Granny does your
dog bite, 'no, child, no'" Pride sawed the fiddle again and
after he finished the last note he added with an odd accent, "Still
gonna take your soul, Hoho."
Greed nodded with revelation. It was a little more than what he asked for but he could do nothing about it. "That explains a lot."
A/n: alright, so its not my greatest. But just visualizing the entire scene from the manga with this song. I find the idea of a dark cloud in a flask playing fiddle is hilarious. Please read and review!!
