[00:00:00] When The Rain Tumbles Down In July (1979 Version) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:05] Let me wander north to the homestead

[00:00:10] Way out further on there to roam

[00:00:15] By a gully in flood let me linger

[00:00:20] When the summery sunshine has flown

[00:00:25] Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds

[00:00:31] And clouds fill the old northern sky

[00:00:35] And the cattle move back from the lowlands

[00:00:41] When the rain tumbles down in July

[00:00:49] The settlers with sad hearts are watching

[00:00:53] The rise of the stream from the dawn

[00:00:58] Their best crops are always in flood reach

[00:01:03] If it rises much more they'll be gone

[00:01:09] The cattle string out along the fences

[00:01:14] The wind from the south races by

[00:01:19] And the limbs from the old gums are fallen

[00:01:24] When the rain tumbles down in july

[00:01:32] The sleeping gums on the hillside

[00:01:37] Awaken to herds straying by

[00:01:41] Here on the flats where the fences have vanished

[00:01:47] As the storm clouds gather on high

[00:01:52] The wheels of the wagons stop turning

[00:01:57] The stock horse is turned out to stray

[00:02:02] The old station dogs are a dozing

[00:02:07] On the husks in the barn through the day

[00:02:13] The drover draws rein by the river

[00:02:18] And it's years since he's seen it so high

[00:02:22] Yes and that's just a story of homeward

[00:02:28] When the rain tumbles down in July
