When the Rains Tumble Down in July - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Hey hey hey[00:00:04]
Hey hey hey[00:00:07]
Hey hey hey[00:00:10]
Let me wander north to the homestead[00:00:17]
Way out further on there to roam[00:00:23]
By a gully in flood let me linger[00:00:28]
When the summery sunshine has flown[00:00:34]
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds[00:00:39]
And clouds fill the old northern sky[00:00:45]
And the cattle move back from the lowlands[00:00:50]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:00:56]
The settlers with sad hearts are watching[00:01:09]
The rise of the stream from the dawn[00:01:15]
Their best crops are always in flood reach[00:01:21]
If it rises much more they'll be gone[00:01:26]
The cattle string out along the fences[00:01:32]
The wind from the south races by[00:01:38]
And the limbs from the old gums are fallen[00:01:43]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:01:48]
The sleeping gums on the hillside[00:01:58]
Awaken to herds strayin' by[00:02:04]
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished[00:02:10]
As the storm clouds gather on high[00:02:15]
The wheels of the wagons stop turning[00:02:21]
The stock horse is turned out to stray[00:02:27]
The old station dogs are a-dozin'[00:02:32]
On the husks in the barn through the day[00:02:38]
The drover draws rein by the river[00:02:44]
And it's years since he's seen it so high[00:02:49]
And that's just a story of homeward[00:02:54]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:03:00]
