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
