Will you c omfort me in my t ime of need?
Can you t ake away the pain of a hurtful d eed?
'Cause when we n eed it most there's no r ain at all
And d ust just settles r ight there on the f ields
Will you s ay to me a little r ain's gonna c ome?
When the s ky can't offer none to m e
I will c ome for you when my d ays are t hrough
And I'll l et your smile just o ff and carry m e
'Cause when the c alm comes down
I'll take the t ruck on into town
And b uy whatever w e can't seem to g row
I work these h ands till they bleed
'Cause I got m ouths to feed
I got f ifteen dollars h id above the s tove
Will you s ay to me a little r ain's gonna c ome?
When the s ky can't offer none to m e
I will c ome for you when my d ays are t hrough
And I'll l et your smile just o ff and carry m e
'Cause it ain't l ike it was oh back i n those days
When e veryone would o ffer up a h and
These old b ones are worn I've grown t iresome
And I k now my time is s urely gonna c ome
Will you s ay to me a little r ain's gonna c ome?
When the s ky can't offer none to m e
I will c ome for you when my d ays are t hrough
And I'll l et your smile just o ff and carry m e
Lord we m arried young and stayed where w e came from
And g ave those children e verything we h ad
Will you s tay with me in my t ime of need?
It s eems we had such l ittle time for u s
Will you s ay to me a little r ain's gonna c ome?
When the s ky can't offer none to m e
I will c ome for you when my d ays are t hrough
And I'll l et your smile just o ff and carry m e
