First day in August

Last rain was in May

When the rainmaker came to Kansas

In the middle of a dusty day

Said the rainmaker to the people

"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"

Said the rainmaker to the people

"Now, I'll conjure up a rain today"

90 degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady

Hundred and ten in the hot Sun

Heat from the street burns the feet of the ladies

See how they run

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Called down the lightning (ah ah ah ah)

By a mystical name

And the rainmaker called on the thunder

And it suddenly began to rain

And the rainmaker passed his hat to the people

But the people all turned away

And the rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies

They both became a darker grey

Ah, ah ah ah

Ah, ah ah ah

First day of August (ah ah ah ah)

Last rain was in May

When the rainmaker came to Kansas (ah ah ah ah)

In the middle of a dusty day

The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon (ah ah ah ah)

And without a word he rode way

Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter

And they knew the rain had come to stay

Rain, rain, go away (ah ah ah ah)

Come again another day, hey!

Rain, rain, go away (ah ah ah ah)

Come again another day, hey!

Rain, rain, go away (ah ah ah ah)

Come again another day, hey!

Ah, ah ah ah

Ah, ah ah ah

Ah, ah ah ah
