SIGNS O' RAIN.
Whin yoah corns an' bunions achin', An' yoah body's full o' pain, Yo' can res' right shure an' sertin', Dat we's goin' 'o hav' som' rain.
Cours' de achin' is not plesen' Tho' I wish it I mus' fes, But not 'caus' I lov' de hurtin', But I kno' I'll get som' res'.
In de winter I go, huntin', Wh'n de groun' is white wi'h snow, In de summer I go, fishin', Wh'n de groun's too wet to plow.
Do yo' hear de dogs a barkin', Lik' da's struck a raccoon trail, Sho' sine o' fallin' weather, Chile, I's neber seen it fail.
Run out, Jacob, look back Southward,An' see if ther's a cloud in sight, Goshie, wh't a clap o' thunder, Clouds 're hangin' black as night.
