Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. It ain’t gonna rain, it ain’t gonna snow,
It ain’t gonna rain no more,
Come on everybody now,
Ain’t gonna rain no more.
2. Oh what did the blackbird say to the crow?
It ain’t gonna rain no more,
Ain’t gonna hail, ain’t gonna snow,
Ain’t gonna rain no more.
3. Bake them biscuits good and brown…
Swing your ladies round and round…
