I'm standing on the edge of a worked up field praying for the rain to come

I'm standing on the edge of a worked up field praying for the rain to come

I pray and pray and pray all day

But it don't rain at all

I'm standing at the end of a platform waiting for a train to come

I'm standing at the end of a platform waiting for a train to come

Man come out of the station say that there train don't run

I'm standing at the gate of my baby's place I was calling out her name

I'm standing at the gate of my baby's place I was calling out her name

She says the only word she hears is when I say diamond ring

I'm standing on the edge of a worked up field praying for the rain to fall

I'm standing on the edge of a worked up field praying for the rain to fall

I pray and pray and pray all day

But it don't rain at all

I pray and pray and pray all day

But it don't rain at all
