Rainmaker - Bobbie Gentry

First day in August

Last rain was in May

When the rainmaker come to Kansas

In the middle of a dusty day

Said the rainmaker to the people

"Donate what you're all prepared to pay"

Said the rainmaker to the people

"And I'll conjure up a 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

Called down the lightnin'

By a mystical name

And the rainmaker called on the thunder

And then suddenly it began to rain

Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people

But the people all turned away

And the rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies

Well they both became a darker grey

First day in August

Last rain was in May

When the rainmaker come to Kansas

In the middle of a dusty day

And the rainmaker smiled as

He hitched up his wagon

And without a word he rode way

And the people of the town

Heard the sound of his laughter

And they knew the rain had come to stay

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day
