Frankie Laine — Rain Rain Rain

Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain Well, didn't it rain, children God's gonna send the waters from Zion He's good raise his Heaven up higher It's gonna rain. (Well, it's gonna rain.) Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen My God walked down by the briny sea Beheld the evil of the sinful man; Declared that he would destroy the land He spoke to Noah; Noah stopped He said: "Noah, I want you to build an ark I want you to build it big and strong Build it three hundred cubits along Thirty high and fifty wide 'Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide." Well, rain, children God's gonna send the waters from Zion He's good raise his Heaven up higher It's gonna rain. (Well, it's gonna rain.) Well, after God told him what to do Noah began to cut and hew The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement." The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent." A hundred years, he hammered and sawed Building the Ark by the Grace of God After the foundation was laid He hewed the timber and the Ark was made "Lord, let it rain." Behold the Ark was made Oh, Noah (Well, he called in the animals two by two.) (The ox, and the camel, and the kangaroo.) Oh, Noah (Well, they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem.) (And God began to flood the land.) Oh, Noah (He raised his hands to heaven on high.) (He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky.) Oh, Noah (Shook the mountains and wobbled the sea.) (And He hitched his reins to the chariot wheels.) Oh, Noah (Stepped on the land and stood on the shore.) (And declared that time would be no more.) Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain My Lord, then the wind did blow and the Ark did rock And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock My God spoke and he whispered low Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go He said: "Look a-here, Noah, the rain's done stopped And I want you to land on the mountaintop." Showed old Noah a rainbow sign Said: "It won't be a rain but fire next time." Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain
