Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin’
Sets me up and takes it all away
For the dreaming by the light
Of the camp fire at night
Ends with the burning by the day

Chorus:

Sometimes I think I’ll settle back in Sydney
But it’s been so long it’s hard to change my mind
For the cattle trail goes on and on
And the fences roll forever
And I won’t be back till the drivin’s done

For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
And I won’t be back till the drovin’s done

The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
‘Cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal

When he came upon this young man
Sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot
And 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 fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare
I’ll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil 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 Johnny
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

The devil opened up his case
And he said I’ll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow

Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a [sic] evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this:

Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it’s done

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny’s feet

If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I’m the best there’s ever been
