Kookaburras Calling

Heard the kookaburras calling Saw the snake upon the ground In the distance rain was falling Was no shelter to be found The wind was starting to turn cold Not much sunlight did remain Light'ning flashed, the thunder rolled Emus scattered 'cross the plain I could hear the distant dogs bark As if calling me to home Don't think I'll make it back by dark But I will bring them a bone Think I better get the swag set For this storm is coming fast This won't be a good night I'll bet I just hope I get to sleep at last Had myself a most awful dream That went for the whole night through Thought I was washed down a stream And quickly disappeared from view They said it was ten inches fell The whole valley was in flood My dogs had done their duty well Found my body in the mud And I heard the kookaburras calling
