1. The fields were parched like cinders; rivers all dried up-
|
When a stranger appeared in a little town they called Dry Gulch.
|
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?
|
|
Chorus:
|
Things in old Dry Gulch haven't been the same
|
Since the old rainmaker came to make it rain.
|
|
2. Without a moment's hesitation they all agreed to pay his fee,
|
When he said for a thousand dollars boys, "I'll moisten your sandy sea!"
|
They gathered every penny; from far and wide they came
|
To have a big celebration, for tonight it was gonna rain.
|
|
3.As he was preparin' his potion the hearts were filled with love
|
And every eye was fixed on those cloudless 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!"
|
|
Ending Chorus:
|
Things in old Dry Gulch haven't been the same.
|
When they hung the rainmaker, they walked home in the rain.
|
When they hung the rainmaker, they walked home in the rain
|
