The Diamantina Drover Lyrics

Cover art for The Diamantina Drover lyrics by Redgum

This is my favourite Redgum song. The live version is particularly good with the extra acoustic guitar solo.

There's not really much to comment on; folk songs are usually pretty self-explanatory.

I will say one thing - John Williamson did an appalling version of this song. He even managed to get the words slightly wrong, showing he missed the point entirely of the last line - "I won't be back when the droving's done".
