HEY RAIN (MONTAGUE)

(orig. by Bill Scott / known through Danny Spooner / adapted by Will Quale)


	Hey rain, rain coming down on the plain [or Grange]
	On the roofs of the town.

Rain in my beer and rain in my face
Montague Center is a bloody wet place,

	Hey rain ...

Rain in my beer and rain in my grub
They've just fitted anchors to the Lady Killigrew pub,

	Hey rain ...

Got a shortnose river sturgeon livin' in my fridge
There's another road closure on the Gen'ral Pierce Bridge,

	Hey rain ...

That Nor'easter sky's so cold and black
The only place that's warm is the old sugar shack,

	Hey rain ...

The fellows up in Vernon nearly died of fright
When the river rose nineteen feet last night,

	Hey rain ...

It's the rainiest [month] Montague's ever had,
I'd swim down to Hadley but it's just as bloody bad,

	Hey rain ...
