Pete Seeger
Don’t Let the Rain Come Down
[Chorus]
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
[Verse 1]
There was a crooked man, and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house
[Chorus]
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
[Verse 2]
Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked bat
Tried to fix his house with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
[Chorus]
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
[Verse 3]
Now, this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch
[Chorus]
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it, and I might drown
