OH Rain!

English Weather (Oh Rain!) by Marsha Brown

Oh it blows back in and it blows back out

and it blows back in again

oh it’s rain and it’s mist then it’s rain and it’s fog

Hey! it’s sun! nay, it’s rain again. (Amen!) 

If you can see Wales it’s going to rain

My friend Martyn was complaining

Look again! If you can’t see Wales

It be… cause it’s already raining   OH Rain

Oh the sun came out and me eye went blind

Tis good one eye is sound

Then it clouded up, down came the rain

and me other eye was drowned   OH Rain

Well the sun peeked out then the rain poured hard

so hard it sank me tanker

now I can visit twice a day

when the tide’s out at Blue Anchor   OH Rain!

Well I got me Wellies & I got me ropes

and a hat, case the sun should shine

then I rowed me dingy through the mist

to a find that tank o’ mine.   OH Rain 

Oh many a day twixt night & noon

thar seeps a wicked drizzle

It pours so wretched constant-like

It cause me fire to fizzle   OH rain

Though me cloudy tale seems full of gloom

it come wi’ a silver lining

See, oft times twixt the sun and rain

there be’s a rainbow shining

there’s a brill of a rainbow shining!   OH rain
