My Little Sister

 


Oh, rain, rain, rain.

The baby said

It's gonna rain!

She cried from her bed.

The lightning flashed

It's gonna rain!

The thunder roared

It's gonna rain!

She shouted from her bed

Her mama raised up her head 

Said go to sleep.

Oh, rain, rain, rain, rain.

And the baby said

It's gonna rain.

And mama stood beside the bed 

Do that again I'll have to spank.

And the lightning flashed 

And the baby said IT'S GONNA  *whispered* rain.

And baby said

It's! (Whispered from her bed) gonna rain.
