作词 : Whitmore | |
The summer wind is blowing westward | |
Over the field of fresh moved hay | |
Let's go up to the barn loft | |
Lay back and watch the sparrows play | |
I can see the evening sky | |
From the holes rusted in the tin | |
Let's close our eyes and fall asleep | |
And listen to the storm roll in | |
It sounded like a thousand horses' hooves | |
The sound of the pourin' rain on the old tin roof | |
The clouds were as black as the smoke form the stack | |
Of an old coal-burning train | |
Lay back and listen to the sound of the pourin' rain | |
It ain't rained in weeks and now it just won't stop | |
All the rivers and the creeks | |
Are getting fuller with every drop | |
If the levee holds it's ground | |
And keeps that water back | |
The Mississippi won't reach my little tar-paper shack | |
Well now the sun shines on the roof | |
And the moonshine is in the cellar | |
And what a happy feller I am | |
To finally see the sun | |
Now that the rain is done | |
'cause I've had about all I can stand | |
I can't tell where my pond begins | |
An where my cornfield ends | |
The cattle done floated away | |
'cause the water's up over the fence |
