Don’t Let the Rain Come Down (RIV 380) Mike Seastrom

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Grand Square
* Well, there was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile.
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile.
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together,
Four Ladies Chain across (ah ha).
Don’t let the rain come down, you Chain ‘em back (oh no).
And Promenade on around (ah ha).
Don’t let the rain come down,
My roof ’s got a hole in it and I might drown.

FIGURE

Heads [Sides] Square Thru four hands ‘round and roll it inside of the set.
When you meet the sides, you make a Right Hand Star, you bet.
One time around and then, the Heads Star Left inside you go.
All the way to the corner lady, Touch a Quarter there you know, Scoot Back.
Make it two times, my friend (ah ha).
Swing and Promenade around the land (oh no).
Don’t let the rain come down,
My roof ’s got a hole in it and I might drown.

TAG

My roof ’s got a hole in it, my roof ’s got a hole in it,
My roof ’s got a hole in it, and I might drown (ah ha).

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

*Well this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile (Reverse)
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat,
And he tried to fix his roof, Four Ladies Chain, rat-a-tat-tat (ah ha).
*Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse,
They all lived together in the crooked little house (Reverse).
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch,
Has a crooked roof, Four Ladies Chain across the set (ah ha)
