Didn't It Rain

Didn't it rain, children?

Talk about rain, oh, my Lord

Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?

Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?

Oh, it rained forty days

And it rained forty nights

There was no land nowhere in sight

God, send the angel to spread the news

He hastes his wings and away he flew

To the East to the West

To the North to the South

All day all night

How it rained, how it rained

Didn't it rain, children?

Talk about rain, oh, my Lord

Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?

Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?

Some at the window, some at the door

Some said, "Noah, can't you take a little more?"

"No, no," said Noah, "no, no, my friends"

The nature got to keep; you can't get in

I told you, I told you a long time ago

You wouldn't hear me; you disobey me

Lord, send the angel a warning to you

It began to rain and now you are through

Well, it rained forty days

Forty nights without stopping

Noah was glad

When the rain stopped dropping

Knock at the window, knock at the door

Come on, brother Noah

Can't you take little more?

No, no, my brothers, you are full of sin

God has the key; you can't get in

Would you listen? how it rained

Didn't it rain, children?

Talk about rain, oh, my Lord

Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?

Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain?
