VERSE

When the train pulled into the station,

he rolled up his sleeves

and resin's up his bow

Fiddle upside down, orange blossom special,

'Cause if you want

to make a living,

you got to put on a good show.

VERSE

Devil's Dream was a song they understood

Then he'd go back to

Oklahoma

And he'd wait 'til the trains was running

and the weather was good

But when he'd smell the smoke and the cinders

He slick back his hair

opened up his case

Play Cherokee fiddle,

he'd play for the whiskey.

good whiskey,

never let him lose his place.

VERSE

Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboys

And the cowboys are putting leathers

and turquoise on

And the music sold by lawyers

And the fools who fiddled in the middle of the station

have gone Some folks say they'll never miss him

Old fiddle squealed like the engine's brakes

Cherokee Fiddle,

gone forever Just like the music of the whistle

that the old locomotives made

So when you smell smoke and the cinders)

just slick back your hair,

open up your case (open up

your case) Play Cherokee fiddle,

play it for the whiskey, 'Cause good

whiskey

will never let you lose your place.

No good whiskey

will never let you lose your place.

| Bm | A# |

No good whiskey will never let you lose your place.
