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.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
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.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
|
Still no rain, come on rain.
|
Still no rain, come on rain.
|
Still no rain, come on rain.
