Fooling around in open G minor tuning on my Aria Custom Made 5 string banjo I got this tune ready to roll today..(I do not own the copyrights for the picture - all musical instruments + lyrics + production by me . Thunderland ©170714 John Schuur When will the rain come? no one knows Will the rain come? One horse throws Its all been for nothing We build our dreams on hope In this long and forgotten Evil dustbowl See these tired hands And the line carved leather face Old machines turned to rust The land was laid to waste In those long forgotten Depressing decade When the earth took flight The dirt farmer prayed This country seemed to brood As if death was touching it Looking for the next year To make the pieces fit But there is no hope left For .... 1936 I keep on picking in Thunder land Its the only thing I know Ive been buried in the sand Where the tumbleweeds roll Big black blizzard ready to blow When will the rain come? No one knows When will the rain I said, when will the rain When will the rain... Come? See these tired hands And the line carved leather face Old machines turned to rust The land was laid to waste In those long forgotten Depressing decade When the earth took flight The dirt farmer prayed Families piled Their belongings in a truck 10 cents for a cow And nothing for the crops Theres an eerie kind of peace After the red sun... Was blocked I keep on picking in Thunder land Its the only thing I know Ive been buried in the sand Where the tumbleweeds roll Big black blizzard ready to blow When will the rain come? No one knows When will the rain I said, when will the rain When will the rain... Come? Categorie Muziek
