[Verse 1]
G'day, mate, how You goin'? It's been a long time since we spoke
There's a drought up here in Queensland and I tell You, it's no joke
It hasn't rained for months on end and the waterhole's near dry
And the bores are pumpin' air, mate, it's enough to make you cry
[Verse 2]
Oh, the stock can hardly walk, mate, they've been a long time without feed
And some are just too poor, mate, they're almost on their knees
The old dog's curled up in the barn, there's nothin' he can do
So he lies awake at night, mate, just a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 3]
Well, I hope that You're a-listenin' sittin' way up on Your throne
Takin' notes about about the drought, mate, that's threatenin' to take our home
And I hope that pretty soon, mate, You'll send us a little rain
Break this rotten drought, mate, that's drivin' us insane
[Verse 4]
Well, g'day, mate, how You goin'? It's not long since we spoke
I just wanna thank You for the rain that stopped us goin' broke
Oh, the creek's been floodin', the tanks are full and the grass is growin' fine
But You sent us way too much, mate, it's still rainin' here in May
[Outro]
Yes, You've sent us way too much, mate, it's still raining here in May
