	Lyrics ANOTHER FALL OF RAIN Now the weather had been sultry for a fortnight's time or more The shearers had been battling might and main And some had got the century as never had before But now all hands are waiting for the rain. Chorus For the boss is getting rusty and the ringer's caving in His bandaged wrist is aching with the pain And the second man I swear will make it hot for him Unless we have another fall of rain. A few had taken quarters and were coiling in their bunks When we shore the six-tooth wethers from the plain And if the sheep get harder then a few more men will funk Unless we get another fall of rain. But the sky is clouding over and the thunder's muttering loud And the clouds are driving eastwards o'er the plain And I see the lightning flashing from the edge of yon black cloud And I hear the gentle patter of the rain. So, lads put on your stoppers and let us to the huts Where we'll gather round and have a friendly game While some are playing music and some play ante-up And some are gazing outwards at the rain. But now the rain is over let the pressers spin the screws Let the teamsters back the wagons in again And we'll block the classer's table by the way we push them through For everything is merry since the rain. And the boss he won't be rusty when his sheep they are all shorn And the ringer's wrist won't ache much with the pain Of pocketing his season's cheque for fifty pounds or more And the second man will ride him hard again.
