Light rain fallin', light rain fallin'
Light rain blowin' in the air
{Repeat first 2 lines}
Tell me, tell me mama....
Is it blowin' in my sweet baby's hair
We used to walk together now
When the world was fresh & green
{Repeat first 2 lines}
Now it seems like dried grass
Is all in the world I've ever seen
Seems like the world's on fire now....
Not a cloud up in the sky
{Repeat first 2 lines}
Yeah, the world's like a desert
Where the waterhole's gone dry
Oh green grass, green grass, green grass
You were born upon a rainy day
{Repeat first 2 lines}
Your daddy was a light rain, your mama was the month of May.
