I was born by a river that was paved with cement. I was born by a river that was paved with cement. Still, I'd stand out in that river, And dream that I was soaking wet.
Some day it's gonna rain, Some day it's gonna pour. Some day that old dry river, Won't be dry any more.
I played in the orange grove , Till they bulldozed the trees. I played in the orange grove , Till they bulldozed the trees. Still ,I'd stand out in those dead stumps, I'd smell the blossoms on the leaves.
Some day it's gonna rain, Some day it's gonna pour. Some day those old dead trees, Won't be dead any more.
I fell in love with a woman, But she did not love me. I fell in love with a woman, But she did not love me. Now I'm as dry as that old river, And just as dead as those old trees.
Some day it's gonna rain, Some day it's gonna pour. Some day this old heart of mine, 's gonna fall in love once more.
Some day it's gonna rain, Some day it's gonna pour. Some day that old dry river, Won't be dry any more.
