Didn't It Rain

(album: Moondog Matinee - 1973)

Didn't it rain, children
Rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain

Didn't it rain, children
Rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain

It rained forty days and forty nights without stopping
Noah was glad when the rain stopped dropping
Knock at the window, a knock at the door
Crying brother Noah can't you take on more
Noah cried no, you're full of sin
God got the key and you can't get in

Just listen how it's raining
Just listen, how it's raining
All day and all night
All night and all day

Just listen how it's raining
Will you listen how it's raining

Some moaning and some groaning
Some crying, some praying
Well, a whole

Didn't it rain, children
Rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain

Didn't it rain, children
Rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain

God sent a raven to spread the news
To hoist his wings and away he flew
And to the North, and to the South
And to the East, and to the West
All day and all night
All night and all day

Well just listen how it's raining
Well just listen how it's raining

Some praying, some crying
Some running, some hiding
Will you listen how it's raining
Just listen how it's raining

Didn't it rain, children
Rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain
