When you're tryin' to make your livin' makin' rain   You got to put on a real good show, tell the people anything   You got to get the Lord's attention any old way you can   Maybe He'll show a little mercy and start cryin' for the lined      Rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry   (It's a rainmaker)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky   (I'm a-talkin' 'bout)   Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna die   (Now listen to me now)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heaven's cry      Well, some say I work miracles, some say I'm just insane   Many a time I bet my life that I could make it rain   One time I had a whole town beatin' the drums   And singin' through the night   We watched the morning sun come up and not a raincloud in sight      I knew if I didn't make some weather and see them storm clouds gather   I'd be run out of town when the sun went down   Covered up in tar and feathers   I was on my knees and I raised my hands to the Heaven's high   I felt this rain like a sigh of relief come pourin' from the sky      Hey, hey, rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry   (I'm a-talkin' 'bout)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky   (Ah, yes)   Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna die   (I'm a-talkin' 'bout)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heavens' cry      Let the cool rain follow on down   Let the cool rain follow on down      Sometimes I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse   Too little rain is not enough and too much just makes things worse   Well, the good Lord promised me a miracle in this life   With only one condition   He said, "Take your money get out of town   Don't try and start another religion", oh, oh      Rainmaker, rainmaker the land is parched and dry   (Now listen to me now)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the rain fall from the sky   (I'm a-talkin' 'bout)   Rainmaker, rainmaker the crops are gonna   (Yeah)   Rainmaker, rainmaker make the Heavens cry      Rainmaker   Rainmaker   Rainmaker   Let the cool rain follow on down
