[C]
When I was just a young man, I remember [G] being told,
By a weather-beaten bushman, [D] grizzled, [G] grey and old,
[C] He was sitting on a bar stool, on a sail day [F] in the town,
[G] Oh, it's time to get the rum out, when the [C] Currawongs come down,
When the Currawongs come down [G] from the mountains,
To the warmer valley country [C] down below,
When the Currawongs come down [F] from the timber,
[G] It's a sign of rough weather, [C] rain or snow.

Now throughout the passing years, so often [G] I have heard,
Lame and simple [D] Currawong, referred [G] to as Rain Bird,
[A] [C] Well I've studied nature closely, and one [F] thing I have found,
[G] Oh, it's time to don your oil skins, when the [C] Currawongs come down.
I know many indications, learned from bushmen [G] I have met,
Indications of the weather, [D] dry or [G] cold or wet,
[C] Sometimes they are right, you know, and sometimes [F] wrong I've found,
[G] But there's no two ways about it, when the [C] Currawongs come down,
When the Currawongs come down [G] from the mountains,
To the warmer valley country [C] down below,
When the Currawongs come down [F] from the timber,
[G] It's a sign of rough weather, [C] rain or snow.
[G]
Now I live here in the snowies, where the howling [G] winter winds,
Where as soon as summer's over, [D] the winter time [G] begins,
[C] And the outers love the beauty, of frost upon [F] the ground,
Then [G] it's time for winter fires, when the Currawongs [C] come down.
[C] When the Currawongs come down from [G] the mountains,
To the warmer valley country [C] down below,
When the Currawongs come down from [F] the timber,
