 It have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
 Well, it have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
 Then all the moneymen like a rattlesnake in his coil
 I done throwed up my hands, Lord, and solemnly swore
 I done throwed up my hands, Lord, and solemnly swore
 There ain't no need of me changing towns, it's a drought everywhere I go
 It's a dry old spell everywhere I been
 Lord, it's a dry old spell everywhere I been
 I believe to my soul this old world is about to end
 Well I stood in my back yard, wrung my hands and screamed
 I stood in my back yard, I wrung my hands and screamed
 And I couldn't see nothing, couldn't see nothing green
 Oh Lord have mercy if you please
 Oh Lord have mercy if you please
 Let your rain come down and give our poor hearts ease
 These blues, these blues is worthwhile to be heard
 Oh, these blues is worthwhile to be heard
 For it's very likely bound to rain somewhere
