[Verse 1]
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
I've got dust on my shoes
Need my crankcase drained
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain

[Verse 2]
If your well runs dry
You might lose your Sugarcane
If your well runs dry
You might lose your Sugarcane
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain

[Verse 3]
Well, the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
Well, the storm clouds roll in
My dogs pulling on his chain
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain

[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
Well, come on in this house
[?] ease this poor heart's pain
You better get on in this house, girl
You got to ease this poor heart's pain (ease this pain)
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain

[Guitar Solo]

Well, the storm has rolled in
My dogs pulling on his chain
See them storm clouds rolling
My dogs pulling on his chain
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain, gonna rain
It's been a mean dry spell
Man, it better rain

[Outro]
It's been a mean dry spell
But I think it's gonna rain
