Rain, Rain, Rain

Frankie Laine



Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain



Well, didn't it rain children

God's gonna send new orders from Zion

He's good raise his heaven up higher

It's gonna rain



Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen

My God walked down by the briny sea

Beheld the evil of the sinful Man

Declared that he would destroy the land



He spoke to Noah, Noah stopped

He said, Noah I want you to build an ark

And I want you to build it big and strong

Build it three hundred cubits along

Thirty high and fifty wide

Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide



Well, rain children

God's gonna send new orders from Zion

He's good raise his heaven up higher

It's gonna rain



Well, after God told him what to do

Noah began to cut and hew

The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement"

The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"



A hundred years he hammered and sawed

Building the Ark by the Grace of God

After the foundation was laid

He hewed the timber and the Ark was made



Lord, let it rain

Behold the Ark is made



Well he called in the animals two by two

The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo

Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem

And God began to flood the land



He raised his hands to heaven on high

He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky

Shook the mountains around the sea

And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel

Stepped on the land and stood on the shore

And declared that time would be no more



Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain



My Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock

And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock

My God spoke and he whispered low

Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go



He said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped

And I want you to land on the mountaintop"

He showed old Noah a rainbow sign

Said it won't be a rain but fire next time



Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
