All day long the sun burning in the blue sky
The dam almost empty the creek is bone dry
The sheep from the sun sheltering by the trees
On a day in late Spring of 25 degrees
For late Spring the paddocks look so brown and bare
A drought at this time of year to say the least seems rare
The warm and dry days of Summer of us are ahead
The driest for decades the weather experts have said,
Financially the farmer is not doing well
His best breeding stock he has been obliged to sell
Bank interests are rising and livestock selling cheap
And no profit in cash crops or cattle and sheep,
The creek it is dry as is the roadside drain
And the farmers are hoping and praying for rain.
