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.
