First day in August

Last rain was in May

When the Rainmaker came to Kansas

In the middle of a dusty day

Talkin' 'bout the northern river

Runnin' cool and clear

Whisperin' quicksilver words

Into every thirsty ear

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

The grounds gone dry and the corn's gonna die

There's never a cloud in view

You say, Rainmaker, can you bring us rain

And that's just what I'll do

Then call down the lightnin'

Old John exclaimed

Then the Rainmaker smiled and the wind got wild

And it suddenly began to rain

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Don't wait for another day

The Rainmaker passed his hat

To people who turned away

Then the sky got black, when they turned their backs

'Cause they didn't wanna have to pay

Rainmaker smiled

The gypsy wagon turned away

Then the rain came down and covered the town

Where the river runs today

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Come again another day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Rain, rain, the people prayed

Come again another day
