First day in August, last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day
The Rainmaker said to the people, "Tell me what u are prepared to pay"
The Rainmaker said to the people, "Well, I'll conjure up rain today"

90 degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady, hundred & 10 in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies, see how they run

Called down the lightning, by a mystical name
Then the Rainmaker called on the thunder and it suddenly began to rain
Then the Rainmaker passed his hat to the people but the people all turned away
Then the Rainmaker's eyes & the Kansas skies both became a darker grey

First day in August, last rain was in May
When the Rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day
Rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon & w/o a wd he rode away
Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter & they knew the rain had
come to stay

Rain rain, go away
Come again another day
