Mahalia Jackson - Didn't It Rain lyrics

Didn't it rain, children Talk 'bout rain, oh, my Lord Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it oh my Lord Didn't it rain? Didn't it rain, children Talk 'bout rain, oh, my Lord Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it rain? It rained 40 days, 40 nights without stopping Noah was glad when the rain stopped dropping Knock at the window, a knock at the door Crying brother Noah can't you take on more Noah cried no, you're full of sin God got the key and you can't get in Just listen how it's rainin' Will you listen how it's rainin' Just listen, how it's rainin' All day, all night All night, all day Just listen how it's rainin' Just listen how it's rainin' Just listen how it's rainin' Some moaning, some groaning Some groaning, some praying Well, a whole Didn't it rain till dawn Rain on my Lord Didn't it, didn't it Didn't it, oh Oh, my Lord Didn't it rain Ooh, God sent a raven to spread the news To hoist his wings and away he flew And to the north, and to the south And to the east, and to the west All day, all night, all night, all day Well just listen how it's rainin' Well just listen how it's rainin' Oh, listen how it's rainin' Some prayin', some cryin' Some runnin', some moanin' Will you listen how it's rainin' Just listen how it's rainin' Just listen how it's rainin' Didn't it rain, children Rain on my Lord Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it, oh Oh, my Lord, didn't it rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
