John Prine
Great Rain
Great rain great rain, I thought I heard you call my name
Great rain great rain, I thought I heard you call my name
I was standing in the station waving down an unmarked train

There's a fire at the junction, why do you do the things you do?
There's a fire at the junction, why do you do the things you do?
I was praying for mercy and all he ever sent me was you

Jimmy bought the liquor, I bought the cups and ice
Jimmy bought the liquor, honey, I bought the cups and ice
I tell you funny stories, why can't you treat me nice?

Great rain great rain, I thought I heard you call my name
Great rain great rain, I thought I heard you calling my name
I was standing by the river talking to a young Mark Twain
