John Prine - Great Rain lyrics

Great rain great rain

I thought I heard you call my name

Great rain great rain

I thought I heard you call my name

I was standing in the station

Waving down an unmarked train

There's a fire at the junction

Why do you do the things you do

There's a fire at the junction

Why do you do the things you do

I was praying for mercy

And all he ever sent me was you

Jimmy bought the liquor

I bought the cups and ice

Jimmy bought the liquor

I bought the cups and ice

I tell you funny stories

Why can't you treat me nice

Great rain great rain

I thought I heard you call my name

Great rain great rain

I thought I heard you calling my name

I was standing by the river

Talking to a young Mark Twain.
