The Rainmaker

First day in August

And the last rain was in May

When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day

Said the Rainmaker to the people

"What are you prepared to pay?"

Said the Rainmaker to the people

"I'll conjure you up some rain today!"

Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady

Hundred and ten in the hot sun

Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies

See how they run

So you want some rain?

I'll get you some rain!

Called down the lightning

By a mystical name

Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder, and suddenly it began to rain

When the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people

The people all turned away

And the Rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies

They both became a darker grey

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

First day in August

The last rain was in May

When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day

The Rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon, and without a word he rode away

When the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter, they knew the rain had come to stay

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day, hey!

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day!

(Hey, come on, let's go now...)

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day, hey!

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day!

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day, hey!

Rain, rain, go away!

Come again another day!

Rain, rain, go away!
