[Lyric] Ain’t That Rain At Town Hall version (Carolyn Hester)

[Intro]
Here's a song about a farmer
I really like this man
He, uh, plants crop
And he prays for rain
And the rains come
And the crop flourishes
But, uh, it's still rainin', you know
And he just really
Don't want to go out there

[Verse 1]
Clouds bring darkness now
I can hardly see
Can't pick cotton now
Life seems mean to me

[Chorus]
Well, it looks like rain, mm-mm
Ain't that rain?
[Verse 2]
Walk inside my door
Feelin' tired and poor
My bones are racked with pain
Can't take anymore

[Chorus]
Well, ain't that rain? mm-mm
Ain't that rain?

[Verse 3]
Children sick and hungry
Yes, I know
If the sun would only shine
Then to work I'd go

[Chorus]
Well, ain't that rain? mm-mm
Ain't that rain?

[Verse 4]
Lord, I love you now
But sometimes I cry
Just bring the sun to me
Before I diе
[Chorus]
Well, ain't that rain? mm-mm
Ain't that rain?
