lyrics

Waiting for the Rain

The farmers crops are all dried out, and all the people in the town are
waiting for the rain,
waiting for the rain
Mama told me to play nice,
spent her time swatting flies,
waiting for the rain,
waiting for the rain

Chorus
*Hold onto your feathers,
gonna have us stormy weather
Hold onto your feathers,
gonna have us stormy weather*

The taxman’s knocking at your door, asking what you can’t afford and you're waiting for the rain,
and now he’s waiting for the rain
Pa’s got himself a new tool,
put me to work, I never went to school, I’m waiting for the rain,
and now he’s waiting for the rain

*Chorus*

I traded off my tramping boots, got me some nice wing-tipped shoes, and
I’m waiting for the rain,
waiting for the rain
The farmers crops are all dried out and all the people in the town are
waiting for the rain,
waiting for the rain

*Chorus*
