Hasn't It Rained

(album: The Merri Soul Sessions - 2014)

Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long, long time

We liked it well at first
But it turned bad and then it got worse
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long, long time

We hauled and hammered wood
Racing hard against the flood
The water rose above the trees

Now our boat is shipshape tight
It's gonna see us through alright
Though the world has now become a mighty sea

Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Forty days and forty nights I believe it's rained

They came in two by two
All our cargo and our crew
They came in two by two all day and night

Every kind and every worth
Of all that moves upon the earth
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long long time

The captain's on my case
O, he's keeping on my case
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long, long time

We're high above the hills
Above the drownded with no gills
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long, long time

Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Forty days and forty nights I believe it's rained

Now there's blue sky up above
We're all waiting on the dove
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained a long long time

Now the captain's rolling drunk
Singing naked on his bunk
Are we ever gonna see dry land again

Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Oh Lord, hasn't it rained
Forty days and forty nights I believe it's rained
