The Oak Ridge Boys - Come On Rain lyrics
[The Oak Ridge Boys - Come On Rain lyrics]
Last night they fired the cannon
On the courthouse lawn
The whole town gathered at the square
And we stayed there till dawn
Telling tales and singing songs and
Trying to work it out
Rain prayers all saying Lord please
Help us through this drought
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust devil carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cow gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
Still no rain, still no rain, still no rain
You can walk across the river
On the bone dry mud
What little waters left there might
As well be our blood
After 80 years the Carter family
Just ran out of luck
We watch the dust cloud rising as
They drive off in their truck
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust has carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cows gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
No not a cloud in sight, ain't that a shame
There's thunder in the night
But still no rain
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust devil carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cow gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
Still no rain, still no rain, still no rain
Still no rain, come on rain
Still no rain, come on rain
Still no rain, come on rain
On the courthouse lawn
The whole town gathered at the square
And we stayed there till dawn
Telling tales and singing songs and
Trying to work it out
Rain prayers all saying Lord please
Help us through this drought
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust devil carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cow gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
Still no rain, still no rain, still no rain
You can walk across the river
On the bone dry mud
What little waters left there might
As well be our blood
After 80 years the Carter family
Just ran out of luck
We watch the dust cloud rising as
They drive off in their truck
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust has carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cows gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
No not a cloud in sight, ain't that a shame
There's thunder in the night
But still no rain
Sun beats down from a White House sky
Still no rain, come on rain
Hens laying eggs with fire inside
Still no rain, come on rain
Dust devil carried our fields away
Still no rain, come on rain
Cow gone dry and the mule gone lame
And there's still no rain
Still no rain, still no rain, still no rain
Still no rain, come on rain
Still no rain, come on rain
Still no rain, come on rain
