Ain’t That Rain – Carolyn Hester
Composer: G. Tomsco, A. Tomsco

Clouds bring darkness now, I can hardy see
Can’t pick cotton now, Life seems mean to me.

Cos it looks like rain, Ain’t that rain

Walk inside my door, being tired and poor,
My bones are wracked with pain, Can’t take anymore

Ain’t that rain, O Ain’t that rain….

Children sick and hungry - yes I know
If the sun would only shine, then to work I’d go

But Ain’t That rain..mmm Ain’t that rain

Lord I love you now, but sometimes I cry
Just bring the sun to me, before I die

But Ain’t that Rain…mmmm….Ain’t that Rain

Clouds bring darkness now, I can hardy see
Can’t pick cotton now, Life seems mean to me.

Cos it looks like rain, Ain’t that rain
