When The Rain Tumbles Down In July |
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 |
