The fields were perched like cinders rivers all dried up When a stranger appeared in a little town they called Dried Gulge When he said I'm a rainmaker most of the folks just stood in doubt But could he be the miracle sent Lord to end this awful drought Things in old Dried Gulge happened then the same Since the old rainmaker came to make it rain Without a moments hesitation they all agreed the pay is fee When he said for a thousand dollars boys I'll moss in your sandy sea They gathered every penny from far and wide they came To have a big celebration for tonight it was gonna rain
As he was preparin' his potion the hearts were filled with love And every eye was fixed on those cloudly skies above Hour after hour but no rain came down And they caught the old rainmaker just as he was leavin' town Yeah they hung the rainmaker beneath the dead oak tree As he cried and he pleaded just wait wait and you're gonna see Things in old Dried Gulge happened then the same When they hung the rainmaker they walked on in the rain When they hung the rainmaker they walked on in the rain
