Rainmaker

[Verse 1] First day in August The last rain was in May When the rainmaker came to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day [Verse 2] Said the rainmaker to the people "Tell me what you are prepared to pay" Said the rainmaker to the people "Well, I'll conjure up a rain today" [Verse 3] Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady Hundred and ten in the hot sun Heat from the street burns the feet of the ladies See how they run [Verse 4] Called down the lightning By a mystical name And the rainmaker called on the thunder And suddenly it began to rain [Verse 5] And 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 [Verse 1] First day of August The last rain was in May When the rainmaker came to Kansas In the middle of a dusty day [Verse 6] The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon And without a word he rode way Then 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 Rain, rain go away Come again another day Rain, rain go away Come again another day
