[Verse 1]
Well I don't need rain, Lord, the sun sure stings
Somebody string a rattle snake up
Good Lord my whole world ran dry
The day that wicked ol' witch said bye

[Chorus]
She put a curse on me, one on the river
Now my crops won't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart, a pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down

[Verse 2]
I should've been long gone cold turkey
Instead I'm sitting on the front porch stoned
Looking back now the past was murky
It ain't no wonder why my money's all gone

[Chorus]
She put a curse on me, one on the river
Now my crops won't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart, a pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

(Mmm, Let it rain)

[Verse 3]
Look yonder to the West, I can feel it in my bones
Here come a hard rain just a blacking out the sky
I'd run for shelter if it wasn't me
Better pay heed to the past, you'll wind up dry

[Chorus]
She put a curse on me, one on the river
Now my crops won't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart, a pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour

[Chorus]
She put a curse on me, one on the river
Now my crops won't grow no more
I've got a hollow heart, a pocket full of nothing
My soul won't rest and my eyes won't pour
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
