Here’s a slightly more gibberish song, “Let it Rain, Let it Pour,” from 1972’s Ben and Charlie. Music by Gianni Ferrio, sung by Stefan Grossman:
A cross-eyed man, he said to me
’Let it rain, or let it pour
For I don’t care if the sun won’t shine,'
I been here and I been there
I even been to Arkansas
Where I found me a friend
I call on my friends
Let it rain, I said let it pour
I don’t care if the old man snores
West of the Great Divide
I’m going East to Santa Fe
Grab me a ride, we’re riding blind
Going down the county line
Let it rain or let it pour
I can hear the people say
Play your song, it won’t take long
Like a natural ragtime band
Big-leg Ida, she can’t get high
She just sits and sings the blues
So we’ve been told
Let it rain, let it pour
For I just don’t care
I’m talkin’ now
Let it rain, let it pour
For I just don’t care
Now I’m goin’, I said
Let it rain, let it pour
For I just don’t care
I say I’m goin’
Let it rain, let it pour
For I just don’t care…
