Didn​’​t It Rain

Didn't it rain, children
Oh yes, didn’t it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn’t it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Well it rained forty days, it rained forty nights
Wasn't no land nowhere in sight
God sent the raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings and away he flew
To the east, to the west, north to the south
All day, all night, how it rained, how it rained

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn’t it rain

Knock at the window, knock at the door
Cryin’ brother, can't you take a couple more
Brother said, well, your wallet looks a little thin
If you can’t pay, you'd better learn to swim

Water risin' (In the mornin')
Water risin’ (At noon)
Water risin' (In the evening)
Keep a-risin' all day long
Keep a-risin' all night long

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Yes!)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain
