When you're tryin' to make your livin' makin' rain

You got to put on a real good show, tell the people anything

You got to get the Lord's attention any old way you can

Maybe He'll show a little mercy and start cryin' for the lined

Rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry

(It's a rainmaker)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky

(I'm a-talkin' 'bout)

Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna die

(Now listen to me now)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heaven's cry

Well, some say I work miracles, some say I'm just insane

Many a time I bet my life that I could make it rain

One time I had a whole town beatin' the drums

And singin' through the night

We watched the morning sun come up and not a raincloud in sight

I knew if I didn't make some weather and see them storm clouds gather

I'd be run out of town when the sun went down

Covered up in tar and feathers

I was on my knees and I raised my hands to the Heaven's high

I felt this rain like a sigh of relief come pourin' from the sky

Hey, hey, rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry

(I'm a-talkin' 'bout)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky

(Ah, yes)

Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna die

(I'm a-talkin' 'bout)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heavens' cry

Let the cool rain follow on down

Let the cool rain follow on down

Sometimes I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse

Too little rain is not enough and too much just makes things worse

Well, the good Lord promised me a miracle in this life

With only one condition

He said, "Take your money get out of town

Don't try and start another religion", oh, oh

Rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry

(Now listen to me now)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky

(I'm a-talkin' 'bout)

Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna

(Yeah)

Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heavens cry

Rainmaker

Rainmaker

Rainmaker

Let the cool rain follow on down
