Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My poor old dog fell off a log and landed in the creek
It ain't gonna rain, it ain't gonna rain
It ain't gonna rain no more
Ain't gonna thunder, ain't gonna pour
It ain't gonna rain no more
It ain't gonna rain no more
Swing your ladies round and round
It ain't gonna rain no more
It ain't gonna rain, it ain't gonna rain
It ain't gonna rain no more
Ain't gonna thunder, ain't gonna pour
It ain't gonna rain no more
I'll tune the fiddle, you get the bell
It ain't gonna rain no more
The weatherman just told me so
It ain't gonna rain no more
It ain't gonna rain, it ain't gonna rain
It ain't gonna rain no more
Ain't gonna thunder, ain't gonna pour
It ain't gonna rain no more
Oh what did the blackbird say to the crow?
It ain't gonna rain no more
It ain't gonna hail, it ain't gonna snow
It ain't gonna rain no more
It ain't gonna rain, it ain't gonna rain
It ain't gonna rain no more
Ain't gonna thunder, ain't gonna pour
It ain't gonna rain no more
Ain't gonna thunder, ain't gonna pour
It ain't gonna rain no more
