[Chorus]
Tell me, didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
[Chorus]
Tell me, didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
[Verse 1]
Well it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
There’s wasn’t no land nowhere in sight
God said raven, spread the news
He hoisted his wings and away he flew
[Pre-Chorus]
To the east, to the west, to the north, to the south
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
All day, all night, all night, all day
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
[Chorus]
Didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Tell me didn't it rain?
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
[Verse 2]
Well it rained forty days, forty nights without stopping
Noah was glad when the rain stoppеd dropping
When we get to hеaven, gonna put on my shoes
Walk around heaven and spread the news
[Pre-Chorus]
How it rained, how it rained
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
All day, all night, all night, all day
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
[Chorus]
Tell me, didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
[Verse 3]
Well there’s was a knock at the window, knock at the door
People cried Lord, we can't take us more
Noah said no, no use for the sin
God’s got the key and you can’t get in
[Pre-Chorus]
All night, all day, all day, all night
Water rises in the south, water rises in the north
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
Water rises in the east, water rises in the west
Just listen, just listen, just listen, just listen
(Listen to the rain, listen to the rain)
[Chorus]
Didn’t it rain? Rain, rain, rain
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?

Tell me, didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
[Chorus]
Tell me, didn’t it rain?
(Rain, rain, rain, rain, children)
Oh, rain (oh my Lord)
Didn’t it? (oh) Didn’t it? (oh)
Didn’t it, oh my Lord, didn’t it rain?
