Peter Rowan - Rainmaker lyrics

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
