Diamantina Drover - John Williams[00:00:01]
The faces in the photograph have faded[00:00:11]
And I can't believe he looks so much like me[00:00:16]
For it's been ten years today[00:00:22]
Since I left for Old Cork Station[00:00:24]
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:00:27]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina[00:00:33]
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind[00:00:38]
For the years have surely gone[00:00:44]
Like the drays from Old Cork Station[00:00:47]
And I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:00:50]
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'[00:00:55]
Sets me up and takes it all away[00:01:01]
For the dreaming by the light[00:01:06]
Of the camp fire at night[00:01:09]
Ends with the burning by the day[00:01:12]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina[00:01:17]
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind[00:01:23]
For the years have surely gone[00:01:28]
Like the drays from Old Cork Station[00:01:31]
And I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:01:35]
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney[00:01:51]
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind[00:01:56]
For the cattle trail goes on and on[00:02:02]
And the fences roll forever[00:02:04]
And I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:02:07]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina[00:02:13]
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind[00:02:18]
For the years have surely gone[00:02:24]
Like the drays from Old Cork Station[00:02:26]
And I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:02:30]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina[00:02:35]
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind[00:02:41]
For the years have surely gone[00:02:46]
Like the drays from Old Cork Station[00:02:49]
And I won't be back till the drovin's done[00:02:53]
