[Intro]
D A7 G D A7 D
[Verse]
D A7 I hold my hat as the Willy-Will goes whirlin' on its way G D Shut my eyes to the blinding dust it's leaving behind at day G Turn my gaze to the dusty haze to see where the leaders are D A7 D And curse the heat that is almost beat the cow with the baby calf
[Verse]
D A7 Old Indigo Jones foretold this drought, and I never-ever did take heed G D So here I am on a dry stock route, traveling to find a feed G And you could flog a flea all over this land, I'm not tellin' a lie D A7 D The trees are chasin' the dogs out here cause the country's so darn dry
[Chorus]
D A7 Should ever I find a field of grass where the waters bubbling free G D I'd give my thanks to the lord above, down on my bended knee G I'd say to him Old Indigo Jones was a wise old man indeed D A7 D He said the Eighties are gonna be bad, so look to your water and feed
[Interlude]

[Verse]
E B7 Feed is scarce and the waters bad and I haven't got 'Buckley’s Chance' A E And Old Man Drought he calls the tune, and I haven't got the will to dance A Each day I pray to the patron saints to please send us some rain E B7 E But then I swear in my despair to see no clouds again
[Verse]
E B7 But the devil looks after his own out here, look at that old black crow A E And Old Man Drought, he feeds him well, his coat has a shining glow A And this poor old horse that I’m ridin’ now is nothing but a bag of bones E B7 E You wouldn't believe that he threw me twice, the very first day from home.
[Chorus]
E B7 Should ever I find a field of grass where the waters bubbling free A E I'd give my thanks to the lord above, down on my bended knee A I'd say to him Old Indigo Jones was a wise old man indeed E B7 E He said the Eighties are gonna be bad, so look to your water and feed
