Didn't It Rain [Live 1964] lyrics

Didn't it rain, children!1

Rain, oh, yes.

Didn't it! Yes, didn't it! You know it did.

Didn't it! 

Oh, oh, yes, how it rained!

I said it rained, children, 

rained, oh, yes.

Didn't it! Yes, didn't it! You know it did.

Didn't it! 

Oh my Lord, how it rained!

You know it rained forty days, 

rained forty nights

to make my [?] fit me right.

And when I get to heaven,

gonna put on my robe,

dance around in glory,

tell the glad news,

look up David in the heat of the day,

tune that harp and begin to play.

I know it rained, you know it rained.

Oh, how it rained!

Rained too long, all night long,

rain, rain, rain, rain,

rain, rain, rain.

Didn't it rain, children!

Rain, oh, yes.

Didn't it! Yes, didn't it! You know it did.

Didn't it! 

Oh my Lord, how it rained!

Some at the window, some at the door, 

some cryin', "Brother Noah, 

can't you take on more?"

But Noah cried out, "Uh-uh, my friends.

The angel's got the key and you can't get in."

I know it rained, you know it rained,

rained too long, all night long, 

rain all day, rain all night, 

rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, 

rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

Rain, children.

Rain, oh, yes.

Didn't it! Yes, didn't it! You know it did.

Didn't it!

Oh my Lord, how it rained!

1. When used this way, "Didn't it rain" is not a question, it's an emphatic affirmative statement. The meaning would be similar to saying "It absolutely did!"
