Tom Northcott - The Rainmaker lyrics

rate me

First day in August, last rain was in May. <br />

When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day.<br />

The Rainmaker said to the people, "Tell me what u are prepared to pay"<br />

The Rainmaker said to the people, "Well, I'll conjure up rain today."<br />

<br />

90 degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady, hundred & 10 in the hot sun<br />

Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies, see how they run...<br />

<br />

Called down the lightning, by a mystical name.<br />

Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder and it suddenly began to rain. <br />

Then the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people but the people all turned away.<br />

Then the Rainmaker's eyes & the Kansas skies both became a darker grey.<br />

<br />

First day in August, last rain was in May. <br />

When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day<br />

Rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon & w/o a wd he rode away. <br />

Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter & they knew the rain had<br />

come to stay..<br />

<br />

Rain rain, go away. <br />

Come again another day...
