Rainmaker

[Verse 1] First day in August Last rain was in May When the rainmaker come to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day Said the rainmaker to the people "Donate what you are prepared to pay" Said the rainmaker to the people "And I'll conjure up rain today" [Bridge] Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady Hundred and ten in the hot sun Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies See how they run [Chorus] Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah [Verse 2] Called down the lightnin' By a mystical name Then the rainmaker called on the thunder And then suddenly it began to rain Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people But the people all turned away And the rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies Well, they both became a darker grey [Chorus] Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah [Verse 3] First day in August Last rain was in May When the rainmaker come to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day And the rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon And without a word he rode way And the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter And they knew the rain had come to stay [Outro] Rain, rain, go away Come again another day-ay Rain, rain, go away Come again another day-ay Rain, rain, go away Come again another day-ay Rain, rain, go away Come again another day-ay Rain, rain, go away Come again another day-ay
