este é um espiritual negro que se tornou um dos clássicos incontornáveis do universo gospel, mas aqui - neste especial televisivo gravado ao vivo numa verdadeira estação ferroviária - a irmã rosetta tharpe transforma-o maravilhosamente numa espécie de rhythm&blues. continua a ser uma delícia poder reviver a sua energia contagiante.

Didn't it rain, children


Talk 'bout rain, oh, my Lord


Didn't it, didn't it, didn't it oh my Lord


Didn't it rain?

It rained 40 days, 40 nights without stopping


Noah was glad when the rain stopped dropping


Knock at the window, a knock at the door


Crying brother Noah can't you take on more


Noah cried no, you're full of sin


God got the key and you can't get in

Just listen how it's rainin'


Will you listen how it's rainin'


Just listen, how it's rainin'


All day, all night


All night, all day

Just listen how it's rainin'

Some moaning, some groaning


Some groaning, some praying


Well, a whole
 didn't it rain till dawn


Rain on my Lord

Didn't it, didn't it, oh


Oh, my Lord
 didn't it rain

Ooh, God sent a raven to spread the news


To hoist his wings and away he flew


And to the north, and to the south


And to the east, and to the west


All day, all night, all night, all day

Well just listen how it's rainin'


Oh, listen how it's rainin'

Some prayin', some cryin'


Some runnin', some moanin'


Will you listen how it's rainin'


Just listen how it's rainin'

Didn't it rain, children


Rain on my Lord


Didn't it, oh my Lord, didn't it rain
