lyrics

She was a strange girl a crack in the glass
a little south of central off the beaten path
well known around if not by name
a little past eccentric little more than insane
she don't trapeze when the moon is full
don't step outside when its unseasonably cool
she don't dance around in stocking feet
and when the rain starts to fall she's been heard to repeat

Rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground
rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground

Met her in fall, but by the time the ice thawed
she was gone with the cold blew out like a squall
gave no notice left only this thrall,
we're just spreading her word like Saints Peter and Paul
walking down the tracks she ain't never coming back
musta been dressed for Jesus to go walking like that
was the stormy season wind kept the trees bent
she walked out of town she sang as she went

rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground
rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground

last one that saw her was old man Zeke
and you can hear it in his voice every time he speaks
what we carelessly sow we regretfully reap
just because she was your lover don't make her yours to keep
slipped away found some other bed to lay
making her fortune in the usual way
but when the rain clouds gather at the end of the day
in the back of my mind i can still hear her say

rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground
rain rain come on down
come on down and wash the ground
