Dry Weather Wind - Slim Dusty

Dry Weather Wind - Slim Dusty/Shorty Ranger
Over the hills and the valleys
Over the mountains and plains
The grass is brown and withered
Everything is crying out for rain
The sunrise is like a big fireball
And sets in the west just the same
Dry weather wind you keep a blowin'
Dry weather wind why don't you change
Oh oh oh dry weather wind you keep a blowin'
Dry weather wind you bring me pain
We don't need you but you're hangin' around
When we so badly need the rain
There's a big cloud of smoke over yonder
And the haze is thick on hill and plain
Dark man called you willy willy
But I just called you old dry weather wind
The stockman with keen eye is watching
The storm clouds that might bring up some rain
He knows that his stock soon will be dying
The waterhole is just a boggy drain
He knows that his hopes are gettin' slimmer
It seems that he can never win
You're sure to fan up a bushfire
Why don't you change old dry weather wind
Oh oh oh dry weather wind you keep a blowin'
Dry weather wind you bring me pain
We don't need you but you're hangin' around
When we so badly need the rain
There's a big cloud of smoke over yonder
And the haze is thick on hill and plain
Dark man called you willy willy
But I just called you old dry weather wind
Yes I just called you old dry weather wind
