When The Rains Tumbles Down In July - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)/Sara Carter[00:00:00]
Let me wander north to the ho-omestead[00:00:05]
Way out further on there to roam[00:00:10]
By a gully in flood let me linger[00:00:15]
When the summery sunshine has flown[00:00:20]
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds[00:00:25]
And clouds fill the old northern sky[00:00:30]
And the cattle move back from the lowlands[00:00:35]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:00:40]
The settlers with sad hearts are watching[00:00:48]
The rise of the stream from the dawn[00:00:52]
Their best crops are always in flood reach[00:00:57]
If it rises much more they'll be gone[00:01:02]
The cattle string out along the fences[00:01:08]
The wind from the south races by[00:01:12]
And the limbs from the old gums are fallen[00:01:17]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:01:22]
The sleeping gums on the hillside[00:01:30]
Awaken to herds strayin' by[00:01:35]
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished[00:01:40]
As the storm clouds gather on high[00:01:45]
The wheels of the wagons stop turning[00:01:50]
The stock horse is turned out to stray[00:01:55]
The old station dogs are a-dozin'[00:02:00]
On the husks in the barn through the day[00:02:05]
The drover draws rein by the river[00:02:10]
And it's years since he's seen it so high[00:02:15]
Yes and that's just a story of homeward[00:02:20]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:02:25]
