How about John Williamson's "Longreach is Praying" ??

It's about the possibility that rain is about to fall on Longreach, western Queensland.
At the time John wrote it, there were children 14 and 15 years of age in Longreach who had NEVER seen rainfall.

The chorus runs

"Longreach is praying. (Send 'er down 'Hughie'); Longreach is praying for rain"
