Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Lizzy and the Rainman

He came riding in on a sunrise

A hot west Texas day

A fancy man in a painted wagon

Some fancy things to say

Looks like you folks'll need some water

Well water is my game

For the small price of a hundred dollars

I bet you I can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come

Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum

Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims

But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

They all just stood a staring trying to believe

But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat

She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed

For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come

Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum

Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims

But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream

And if you can't walk on the inside with me

I'll meet you in between

Come with me Lizzy

And the stars'll write your name

And if you still think I'm lying to you

Look yonder here comes the rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come

Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum

Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims

But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come

Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum

Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims

But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain
