Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't it rain, children?
Oh yes, didn't it? (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord?
Didn't it rain?
[Verse 2]
Well it rained forty days, it rained forty nights
Wasn't no land nowhere in sight
God sent the raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings and away he flew
To the east, to the west, north to the south
All day, all night, how it rained, how it rained
[Verse 3]
Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children?
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it? (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord?
Didn't it rain?
[Verse 4]
Knock at the window, knock at the door (Knock, knock-knock)
Cryin' brother, can't you take a couple more
Brother said, well, your wallet looks a little thin
If you can't pay, you'd better learn to swim
[Verse 5]
Water risin' (In the mornin')
Water risin' (At noon)
Water risin' (In the evening)
Keep a-risin' all day long
Keep a-risin' all night long
[Verse 6]
Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children?
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it? (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord?
Didn't it rain?
[Verse 7]
Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children?
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it rain? (Didn't it?)
Didn't it rain, rain? (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord?
Didn't it rain?
[Verse 8]
Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children?
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it rain? (Didn't it?)
Didn't it rain? (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord?
Didn't it rain?
[Verse 9]
Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children?
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Yes)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain?
