Lyrics
(Folk tune, Lyrics by Abbie Farwell Brown, 1871-1927)
1. Dripping, dropping, never stopping, Rain, rain, rain!
Running down the windowpane, Little children want to play.
Slipping, sliding, ever gliding, Won’t you please to go away?
2. Dropping, dripping, ever slipping, Rain, rain, rain!
Who has bid you come again? Don’t you hear the children say,
Dropping, dripping, ever slipping, “Come again another day.”
