Lyrics

Looking for a Rainbow

Well we come down to the valley

Yea we're looking for the honey

I see a rainbow

I say that's the land of milk and honey

Me and my cousin

Me and my brother

My little sister too

Come looking for a rainbow

Yea we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley

Got our babies in our arms

Yea we're Maggie's little children

And we're looking for Maggie's farm

Me and my cousin

Me and my brother

My little sister too

Come looking for a rainbow

Yea we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley

We ain't far away no more

You can't leave us dying this time

'Cos we're all around your door

Me and my cousin

Me and my brother

My little sister too

Come looking for a rainbow

Yea we're looking for a rainbow
