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