This is a song my mother used to sing every evening after prayer when she took us on the front porch I want to dedicate this one to Mama We learned all of this from my mother Every day we had to sing this song She didn't let us rest until we sung this song It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign Said it won't be water but the fire next time! It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign Said it won't be water but the fire next time! Way back in the Bible days God told the people it's gonna rain But when he told them, they paid him no mind But when it happened, they were left behind I'll tell you It's gonna rain. Get ready. It's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign Said it won't be water but the fire next time! They tell me when the rain began to pour They knocked on the windows They knocked on the doors They said didn't know exactly what to do Now, you don't want this to happen to you It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign It won't be water but the fire next time! It's gonna rain, my children, it's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign It won't be water but fire next time! Noah said I'm sorry I'm sorry my friend God's got the key and you can't get in If something don't happen to the heart of man The same thing will happen again I tell ya It's gonna rain. Get ready. It's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign It won't be water but fire next time! One more time It's gonna rain. I tell you. It's gonna rain You better get ready and bear this in mind God showed Noah about the rainbow sign It won't be water but the fire next time!
