The Rainmaker

First day in August and the last rain was in May When the rainmaker came to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day Said the rainmaker to the people What are you prepared to pay? Said the rainmaker to the people I'll conjure you up some rain today Out in the breeze under the trees Where it's shady Getting a tan in the hot sun Even the streets burn the feet of the ladies See how they run So you want some rain I'll get you some rain Call down the lightning I must have some rain And the rainmaker called on the thunder And suddenly it began to rain When the rainmaker passed his hat to the people The people all turned away And the rainmaker and the Kansas skies They both became a darker grey Rain. rain the people prayed Go away for another day First day in August and the last rain was in May When the rainmaker came to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon And without a word he rode away When the people of the town Heard the sound of his laughter They knew the rain had come to stay Rain, rain go away come again another day By God it's over Rain, rain go away come again another day hey Rain, rain go away come again another day Rain, rain go away come again another day hey Rain, rain go away come again another day.
