The Diamontina Drover |
| The faces in the photographs are fading |
| I can’t believe he looks so much like me |
| For its been ten long years today since I left for old Cork Station |
| And I won’t be back till the drove is done |
| For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina |
| The drover finds it hard to change his mind |
| For the years have surely gone like the drays from old Cork Station |
| And I won’t be back till the drove is done |
| It seems like the sun comes up each morning |
| Sets me up then takes it all away |
| Dreaming by the light of the campfire at night |
| Ends with the early light of the day |
| I sometimes think I’ll settle back in Sydney |
| It’s been so long and it’s hard to change your mind |
| For the cattle trail rolls on and on, the fences last forever |
| And I won’t be back when the drove is done |
