the land is parched and dry
make the rain fall from the
Some say I work miracles,
Many a time I bet my life
that I could make it rain
One time I had a whole town
and singin' through the night
Oh, if we'd watch the mornin' sun
come up with not a rain cloud
the land is parched and dry
make the rain fall from the sky
When you try to make your living,
You got to put on a real good show,
You got to get the Lord's attention
Maybe he'll show a little mercy
and start crying for the land
and see them storm clouds gather,
and covered up in tar and feather.
and I raised my hands to the heavens high,
I felt the rain like a sigh of relief
come pouring from the sky.
the land is parched and dry,
make the rain fall from the sky
Let the cool rain fall on down
Let the cold rain fall on down
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,
Don't try and start another
The land is parched and dry
Make the rain fall from the sky
