Found an old man stoned near a drifted gate And I can't help thinking that he meant 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 briney sky Oh come on rain Don't let our country die Let's wash the dog away, push him off the chain Oh let's burst a bank and fill a tank This I pray Broken families are leaving town Since they shut their cotton gin down Empty shops on empty streets Starving cattle, starving sheep Oh come on rain Fall from your briney sky Oh come on rain Don't let our red gums die Let's wash the dog away, push him off the chain Oh let's burst a bank and fill a tank This I pray Shady hat and a pelting sun And a poor old magpies nearly done And the kids are playing on the grassy dirt And the rain gage is gonna die of thirst Oh come on rain Fall from your briney sky Oh come on rain Don't let our country die Let's wash the dog away, push him off the chain Oh let's burst a bank and fill a tank This I pray Oh come on rain Fall from your briney sky Don't let our red gums die Let's wash the dog away, push him off the chain Oh let's burst a bank and fill a tank This I pray Kids and puddles, muddy cuddles Come on rain One more chance let's rain dance Come on rain
