[00:11.28]The faces in the photograph have faded
[00:16.41]And I can't believe he looks so much like me
[00:21.78]For it's been ten years today
[00:24.51]Since I left for Old Cork Station
[00:27.36]Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done
[00:32.94]For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
[00:38.31]And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
[00:44.10]For the years have surely gone
[00:46.59]Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
[00:49.05]And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[00:55.29]Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
[01:01.32]Sets me up and takes it all away
[01:06.33]For the dreaming by the light
[01:08.16]Of the camp fire at ni-ight
[01:12.60]Ends with the burning by the day
[01:17.43]For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
[01:22.74]And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
[01:28.59]For the years have surely gone
[01:31.05]Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
[01:33.51]And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[01:50.76]Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
[01:56.22]But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
[02:01.80]For the cattle trail goes on and on
[02:04.62]And the fences roll forever
[02:07.56]And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[02:12.87]For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
[02:17.97]And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
[02:24.99]For the years have surely gone
[02:26.43]Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
[02:28.92]And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[02:35.22]For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
[02:40.59]And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
[02:46.47]For the years have surely gone
[02:48.93]Like the drays from Old Cork Station
[02:52.89]And I won't be back till the drovin's done
