When The Rain Tumbles Down In July (1979 Version) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Let me wander north to the homestead[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[00:00:31]
And the cattle move back from the lowlands[00:00:35]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:00:41]
The settlers with sad hearts are watching[00:00:49]
The rise of the stream from the dawn[00:00:53]
Their best crops are always in flood reach[00:00:58]
If it rises much more they'll be gone[00:01:03]
The cattle string out along the fences[00:01:09]
The wind from the south races by[00:01:14]
And the limbs from the old gums are fallen[00:01:19]
When the rain tumbles down in july[00:01:24]
The sleeping gums on the hillside[00:01:32]
Awaken to herds straying by[00:01:37]
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished[00:01:41]
As the storm clouds gather on high[00:01:47]
The wheels of the wagons stop turning[00:01:52]
The stock horse is turned out to stray[00:01:57]
The old station dogs are a dozing[00:02:02]
On the husks in the barn through the day[00:02:07]
The drover draws rein by the river[00:02:13]
And it's years since he's seen it so high[00:02:18]
Yes and that's just a story of homeward[00:02:22]
When the rain tumbles down in July[00:02:28]
