Verse
G D
Her pride and his joy was raven black
C D G
It ran like a river of silk down her back
G D
She brushed it every morning one hundred times
C D G
And he washed it for her on Saturday nights
[Verse 2]
G D
Then drought struck the heartland in 1935
C D G
They didn’t have water for Saturday nights
G D
It all seemed so hopeless so she cut it with the shears
C D G
And he held her close and said through her tears
[Chorus]
C D G
I’ll build you a barrel to catch the rain
C D
To wash out the dust of the Kansas plain
C D C
I swear you’ll never have to cut your hair again
C D
If it’s the last thing I do on this earthly plane
C D G
I’ll give you a barrel of rain
[Verse 3]
G D
So he worked in the evenings when he finished up the chores
C D G
He cut out some staves from a chest of drawers
G D
He bound them with leather, sealed them with tar
C D G
Then he got to his knees and prayed in the yard
[Chorus]
C D G
I’ve built this barrel to catch the rain
C D
To wash out the dust of the Kansas plain
C D C
If you give me this, Lord, I’ll never ask for nothing again
C D
Just a little thundercloud now and then
C D G
To give her a barrel of rain
[Verse 4]
G D
But the rain never came, the barrel sat dry
C D G
She watched as the truth of it ate him alive
G D
Then God took the crops, and the bank took back the land
C D G
When his spirit broke, he just folded his hands
[Chorus]
C D G
As the sun beat down on his thirsty grave
C D
She thought of the fields that he plowed in vain
C D C
She screamed at the sky with all her rage and pain
C D
He didn’t want much and he never complained
C D G
Dear God, he just wanted a barrel of rain
[Verse 5]
G D
Her pride and his joy is now white as milk
C D G
And it runs down her back like a river of silk
G D
All that she brought to these Oregon shores
C D G
Was a barrel made out of an old chest of drawers
[Chorus]
C D G
The neighbors all whisper that she’s insane
C D
The way that she stares at the driving rain
C D C
And waits for the gutters to fill it up again
C D
Then on Saturday nights if the sky is tame
C D G
She washes her hair in a barrel of rain
