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

Out in the breeze under the trees
Where it's shady
Getting a tan in the hot sun
Even the streets burn the feet of the ladies
See how they run

So you want some rain I'll get you some rain
Call down the lightning I must have some rain
And 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 and the Kansas skies
They both became a darker grey

Rain. rain the people prayed
Go away for another day

First day in August and 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
By God it's over

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.
