Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sunWe've been praying but no good comesThe dog's howling, home's stripped bareWe've been worried but now we're scaredPeople come for comfort or just to comeTaste the dark sticky potion or heat the drumsHands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain downHe comes crawlin' 'cross the dry fields like a dark shroudRainmaker, a little faith for hireRainmaker, the house is on fireRainmaker, take everything you haveSometimes folks need to believe in something so badso bad, so badThey'll hire a rainmakerRainmaker says white's black and black's whiteSays night's day and day's nightSays close your eyes and go to sleep nowI'm in a burnin' field unloadin' buckshot into low cloudsRainmaker, a little faith for hireRainmaker, the house is on fireRainmaker, take everything you haveSometimes folks need to believe in something so badso bad, so badThey'll hire a rainmakerSlow moving wagon drawing through a dry townPainted rainbow, crescent moon and dark cloudsBrother patriot come forth and lay it downYour blood brother for king and crownFor your rainmakerThey come for the smile, the firm handshakeThey come for the raw chance of a fair shakeSome come to make damn sure, my friendThis mean season's got nothin' to do with themThey come 'cause they can't stand the painOf another long hot day of no rain'Cause they don't care or understandWhat it really takes for the sky to open up the landRainmaker, a little faith for hireRainmaker, the house is on fireRainmaker, take everything you haveSometimes folks need to believe in something so badso bad, so badThey'll hire a rainmakerRainmakerRainmakerRainmaker
