lyrics

Didn't it rain, children
Oh yes, didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Well it rained forty days, it rained forty nights
Wasn't no land nowhere in sight
God sent the raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings and away he flew
To the east, to the west, north to the south
All day, all night, how it rained, how it rained

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Knock at the window, knock at the door
Cryin' brother, can't you take a couple more
Brother said, well, your wallet looks a little thin,
If you can't pay, you'd better learn to swim

Water risin' (In the mornin')
Water risin' (At noon)
Water risin' (In the evening)
Keep a-risin' all day long,
Keep a-risin' all night long

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Didn't it?)
Didn't it, woah my lord
Didn't it rain

Tell me, didn't it rain, a-rain, a-rain, children
Rain, oh my lord
Didn't it (Didn't it?)
You know it did (Yes!)
Didn't it, woah my lord,
Didn't it rain

I've been listening to this album, and others, for a while but the live performances of 'Firecracker' and 'Wild Turkey' , as well ad 'Darlin' Cory', at the Transatlantic Sessions show at the RFH was another level. Live music is the best. The whole concert was insanely good. Shame not to hear 'Black Myself' in that setting but it was all near perfection as it was. oldjembo

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
