Derrol In The Rain

The rain fell on the people but they never went away

In an open field in Cambridge

It was there I watched him play

He sung songs of his homeland

And doved the valleys that he loved

Of the mountains and the wonders

And the great sky that they loved

Oh Derroll was his name, as wise as gentle as could be

He played his music all over

Singing his songs for you and me

He spoke about his music and about his love of life,

About the people that surround him, his best friends and his wife

He spoke of great injustice to the places he once knew,

Ah nature how you've suffered, wherein freedom once you grew

He told to the people about to the war that had begun

You know there killing one another father brother and son

He sang of an old woman who had children 1, 2, 3

Of the heartbreak when he told her how they killed her family

Yes I watched in the rain

From gentle voices word did sound

His wrinkled had that played his banjo

And all the people stood around
