Come on Rain

I found an old man's stone near a drifted gate

And I can't help thinkin' that he met the same fate

When the tucker runs out you know you gotta go

Where the grass is green and the river flow

Oh come on rain, fall from your briny sky

Oh come on rain, don't let our country die

Let's wash the dog away, wash him off the chain

Oh let's burst a bank and fill the tank

This I pray

Broken families are leavin' town

Since they shut that cotton gin down

Empty shops on empty streets

Starvin' cattle and starvin' sheep

Oh come on rain, fall from your briny sky

Oh come on rain, don't let our red gums die

Let's wash the dog away, wash him off the chain

Oh let's burst a bank and fill the tank

This I pray

Shady hat and a pelting sun

And a poor old magpie's nearly done

And the kids are playin' on the grassy dirt

And a rain gauge is gonna die of thirst

Oh come on rain, fall from your briny sky

Oh come on rain, don't let our country die

Let's wash the dog away, wash him off the chain

Oh let's burst a bank and fill the tank

This I pray

Oh come on rain, fall from your briny sky

Oh come on rain, don't let our red gums die

Let's wash the dog away, wash him off the chain

Oh let's burst a bank and fill the tank

This I pray

Kids and puddles, muddy cuddles

Come on rain

One more chance, let's rain dance

Come on rain
