[00:00:00] Daddy Just Wants It To Rain - Continental Drifters

[00:00:06] Written by：Continental Drifters

[00:00:13] Daddy was the eldest of ten

[00:00:16] And my mama was an only child

[00:00:20] She must've represented back then

[00:00:23] The part of him that couldn't go wild

[00:00:27] She was free

[00:00:31] Something he could never be

[00:00:35] 'Cause daddy was the one

[00:00:37] Always took responsibility

[00:00:47] They met at a USO dance hall

[00:00:49] At the start of the second world war

[00:00:53] She was gentle kind and intelligent

[00:00:57] Something daddy'd never known before

[00:01:01] And they danced

[00:01:05] Later on came the romance

[00:01:08] 'Cause daddy shipped out

[00:01:10] Before he had the chance to ask for her hand

[00:01:19] But it all turned out all right

[00:01:23] And he would lay in his hammock at night

[00:01:27] Dreaming of a family and home

[00:01:30] With the woman that he left behind

[00:01:34] At night his shipmates would go check out the bars

[00:01:38] But daddy'd just stare at the stars

[00:01:44] And dream of her

[00:01:45] 'Til he thought he might lose his mind

[00:02:01] They got married on VE day

[00:02:04] By the preacher from my mama's church

[00:02:08] Mama'd always dreamed of a honeymoon

[00:02:11] But daddy had to go back to work

[00:02:15] He plowed those fields

[00:02:18] Since the navy never taught him a trade

[00:02:23] Mama'd make his lunch

[00:02:24] And they'd eat it out in the shade

[00:03:07] The boys were born in the fifties

[00:03:10] George Herman and me

[00:03:14] And we grew up wanting for nothing

[00:03:17] 'Til George saw his first TV

[00:03:21] It was the Christmas of 1959

[00:03:24] There was a console in the living room

[00:03:28] Well mama and the boys watched variety shows

[00:03:32] And daddy just stared out at the moon

[00:03:40] The drought hit hard in the sixties

[00:03:43] And the irrigation couldn't control

[00:03:47] Mama sighed when they sold the farm

[00:03:50] But daddy lost a piece of his soul

[00:03:54] He said hard work is a virtue

[00:03:58] And you should always work as hard as you can

[00:04:01] He said hard work will never hurt you

[00:04:04] But he never said nothing about the land

[00:04:12] Yeah but mama always told us boys

[00:04:16] You should follow the golden rule

[00:04:20] Always look for the good in the other guy

[00:04:23] But never be anyone's fool

[00:04:27] Then daddy'd laugh a little

[00:04:31] Then he'd look out at his weather vane

[00:04:37] Oh mama wants a rainbow

[00:04:39] Daddy just wants it to rain

[00:05:01] They moved in with Herman's family

[00:05:03] In the nice part of the city

[00:05:08] Mama'd help Gina with the grandchildren

[00:05:11] And tried to make the house look pretty

[00:05:15] But daddy'd sit at his window

[00:05:18] From when he got up 'til he went to bed

[00:05:22] Just knowing that he'd failed his family

[00:05:25] He couldn't get it out of his head

[00:05:34] It was the summer of 1978

[00:05:37] When mama caught pneumonia and died

[00:05:43] Daddy lost his will to live that fall

[00:05:46] Now they're buried side by side

[00:05:50] And in the midst of all our grief

[00:05:54] George said to our relief

[00:05:59] Well mama got her rainbow

[00:06:02] And it's starting to rain

[00:06:06] He said mama got her rainbow

[00:06:09] And it's starting to rain

[00:06:12] And it's starting to rain

[00:06:16] It's starting to rain

[00:06:24] It's starting to rain

[00:06:31] It's starting to rain

[00:06:38] It's starting to rain

[00:06:45] It's starting to rain

[00:06:53] It's starting to rain

[00:07:00] It's starting to rain to rain rain

[00:07:08] To rain
