[Verse 1]
First day in August
The last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day

[Verse 2]
Said the rainmaker to the people
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"
Said the rainmaker to the people
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today"

[Verse 3]
Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burns the feet of the ladies
See how they run

[Verse 4]
Called down the lightning
By a mystical name
And the rainmaker called on the thunder
And suddenly it began to rain

[Verse 5]
And the rainmaker passed his hat to the people
But the people all turned away
And the rainmaker's eyes and the Kansas skies
Well, they both became a darker grey
[Verse 1]
First day of August
The last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day

[Verse 6]
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon
And without a word he rode way
Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter
And they knew the rain had come to stay

[Outro]
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
