It ain't no use to grumble and complainA
It's jest as cheap and easy to rejoiceB
When God sorts out the weather and sends rainA
W'y rain's my choiceB
-
Men giner'ly to all intentsC
Although they're ap' to grumble someD
Puts most their trust in ProvidenceE
And takes things as they comeD
That is the commonalityF
Of men that's lived as long as meF
Has watched the world enough to learnG
They're not the boss of the concernG
-
With some of course it's differentH
I've seed young men that knowed it allI
And didn't like the way things wentJ
On this terrestial ballI
But all the same the rain some wayK
Rained jest as hard on picnic dayK
Er when they railly wanted itL
It maybe wouldn't rain a bitL
-
In this existence dry and wetM
Will overtake the best of menN
Some little skift o' clouds'll shetM
The sun off now and thenN
But maybe while you're wondern' whoO
You've fool like lent your umbrell' toO
And want it out'll pop the sunP
And you'll be glad you ain't got noneP
-
It aggervates the farmers tooO
They's too much wet er too much sunP
Er work er waiting round to doO
Before the plowin''s doneP
And maybe like as not the wheatM
Jest as it's lookin' hard to beatM
Will ketch the storm and jest aboutM
The time the corn 's a jintin' outM
-
These here cy clones a foolin' roundM
And back'ard crops and wind and rainA
And yit the corn that's wallered downQ
May elbow up againN
They ain't no sense as I kin seeF
In mortals sich as you and meF
A faultin' Nature's wise intentsC
And lockin' horns with ProvidenceE
-
It ain't no use to grumble and complainA
It's jest as cheap and easy to rejoiceB
When God sorts out the weather and sends rainA
W'y rain's my choiceB
