[00:00:00] When The Rain Tumbles Down In July - Slim Dusty

[00:00:16] Let me wander north to the homestead

[00:00:22] Way out further on there to roam

[00:00:27] By a gully in flood let me linger

[00:00:33] When the summery sunshine has flown

[00:00:38] Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds

[00:00:44] And clouds fill the old northern sky

[00:00:50] And the cattle move back from the lowlands

[00:00:55] When the rain tumbles down in July

[00:01:09] The settlers with sad hearts are watching

[00:01:14] The rise of the stream from the dawn

[00:01:20] Their best crops are always in flood reach

[00:01:25] If it rises much more they'll be gone

[00:01:31] The cattle string out along the fences

[00:01:37] The wind from the south races by

[00:01:42] And the limbs from the old gums are fallen

[00:01:47] When the rain tumbles down in July

[00:01:58] The sleeping gums on the hillside

[00:02:04] Awaken to herds straying by

[00:02:09] Here on the flats where the fences have vanished

[00:02:14] As the storm clouds gather on high

[00:02:20] The wheels of the wagons stop turning

[00:02:26] The stock horse is turned out to stray

[00:02:32] The old station dogs are a dozing

[00:02:37] On the husks in the barn through the day

[00:02:43] The drover draws rein by the river

[00:02:48] And it's years since he's seen it so high

[00:02:53] Yes and that's just a story of homeward

[00:02:59] When the rain tumbles down in July
