Didn't It Rain

Didn't it rain, children? Talk about rain, oh, my Lord Didn't it fall, didn't it fall? Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain? Oh, it rained forty days And it rained forty nights There was no land nowhere in sight God, send the angel to spread the news He hastes his wings and away he flew To the East to the West To the North to the South All day all night How it rained, how it rained Didn't it rain, children? Talk about rain, oh, my Lord Didn't it fall, didn't it fall? Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain? Some at the window, some at the door Some said, "Noah, can't you take a little more?" "No, no," said Noah, "no, no, my friends" The nature got to keep; you can't get in I told you, I told you a long time ago You wouldn't hear me; you disobey me Lord, send the angel a warning to you It began to rain and now you are through Well, it rained forty days Forty nights without stopping Noah was glad When the rain stopped dropping Knock at the window, knock at the door Come on, brother Noah Can't you take little more? No, no, my brothers, you are full of sin God has the key; you can't get in Would you listen? how it rained Didn't it rain, children? Talk about rain, oh, my Lord Didn't it fall, didn't it fall? Didn't it fall, my Lord, didn't it rain? --- Didn't It Rain - Louis Armstrong
