When The Rain Tumbles Down In July(2004 Remaster) feat. Barry Thornton

歌詞

Let me wander north to the ho-omestead Way out further on there to roam By a gully in flood, let me linger When the summery sunshine has flown Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds And clouds fill the old northern sky And the cattle move back from the lowlands When the rain tumbles down in July The settlers with sad hearts are watching The rise of the stream from the dawn Their best crops are always in flood reach If it rises much more they'll be gone The cattle string out along the fences The wind from the south races by And the limbs from the old gums are fallen When the rain tumbles down in July The sleeping gums on the hillside Awaken to herds strayin' by Here on the flats where the fences have vanished As the storm clouds gather on high The wheels of the wagons stop turning The stock horse is turned out to stray The old station dogs are a-dozin' On the husks in the barn through the day The drover draws rein by the river And it's years since he's seen it so high Yes and that's just a story of homeward When the rain tumbles down in July.
