Rain, oh my Lord

Well it rained forty days
Forty nights without stoppin
And Norah got mad
Cause the rain kept a-droppin
Knock on the window
Well now, knock on the door
Hey brother Norah
Can't you take on more
No, cried Norah
Well you're full of sin
God's got the key
And you can't come in
Well God gave Norah
That rainbow sign
Well it wouldn't be water
But fire next time
