Generate meaning
1
Let me wander north to the ho-omestead
2
Way out further on there to roam
3
By a gully in flood, let me linger
4
When the summery sunshine has flown
5
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds
6
And clouds fill the old northern sky
7
And the cattle move back from the lowlands
8
When the rain tumbles down in July
9
The settlers with sad hearts are watching
10
The rise of the stream from the dawn
11
Their best crops are always in flood reach
12
If it rises much more they'll be gone
13
The cattle string out along the fences
14
The wind from the south races by
15
And the limbs from the old gums are fallen
16
When the rain tumbles down in July
17
The sleeping gums on the hillside
18
Awaken to herds strayin' by
19
Here on the flats where the fences have vanished
20
As the storm clouds gather on high
21
The wheels of the wagons stop turning
22
The stock horse is turned out to stray
23
The old station dogs are a-dozin'
24
On the husks in the barn through the day
25
The drover draws rein by the river
26
And it's years since he's seen it so high
27
Yes and that's just a story of homeward
28
When the rain tumbles down in July
