When The Rain Tumbles Down In July - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Let me wander north to the homestead[00:00:16]
Way out further on there to roam[00:00:22]
By a gully in flood let me linger[00:00:27]
When the summery sunshine has flown[00:00:33]
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds[00:00:38]
And clouds fill the old northern sky[00:00:44]
And the cattle move back from the lowlands[00:00:50]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:00:55]
The settlers with sad hearts are watching[00:01:09]
The rise of the stream from the dawn[00:01:14]
Their best crops are always in flood reach[00:01:20]
If it rises much more they'll be gone[00:01:25]
The cattle string out along the fences[00:01:31]
The wind from the south races by[00:01:37]
And the limbs from the old gums are fallen[00:01:42]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:01:47]
The sleeping gums on the hillside[00:01:58]
Awaken to herds straying by[00:02:04]
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished[00:02:09]
As the storm clouds gather on high[00:02:14]
The wheels of the wagons stop turning[00:02:20]
The stock horse is turned out to stray[00:02:26]
The old station dogs are a dozing[00:02:32]
On the husks in the barn through the day[00:02:37]
The drover draws rein by the river[00:02:43]
And it's years since he's seen it so high[00:02:48]
Yes and that's just a story of homeward[00:02:53]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:02:59]
