I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Well the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
Well the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
Its been a long dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Let it rain now… now
When I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
I say I look at my field
Everything is cracked and flayed
And then I wonder to myself
How much can a poor man take
If your well runs dry
You might loose your sugarcane
Mmmm that good sweet cane babe
If your well runs dry
You might lose your sugarcane
Mmm hmmm
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
Its been a mean dry spell
But I think its gonna rain
