[Intro]
Do, do-do, do-do, do
Do, do-do, do-do, do

[Refrain]
Well, it was not so long ago
Just before it rained
I laid me down and closed my eyes
To the shining sun

[Verse 1]
Well, I remember no wind blow
Down upon the plains
All the sight was clean and bright
And the children were all having fun

[Verse 2]
Now the dogs won't stop them barks
Where they have to stand
Well, I tried to shut them up with meat
But it's all the same
The sky is kind of grey and dark
Your Mama calls for a hand
I hide upstairs and the children run
'Cause they could find no game
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And now it's still going along
I think I'll go insane
I don't beliеve we'll hear again
Part of thе pouring sun

[Verse 4]
But do not worry for so little
Your Mama calls for a hand
You better run downstairs to lay the table
The supper is on the run

[Refrain]
Well, it was not so long ago
Just before it rained
I laid me down and closed my eyes
To the shining sun

[Outro]
The sun
