Long as I remember
The rain been comin` down
Clouds of mystery pourin`
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Tryin` to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who`ll stop the rain?
WelI, I went down Virginia
Seekin` shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who`ll stop the rain?
Heard the singers playin`
How we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together
Tryin` to keep warm
Still the rain kept pourin`
Pourin` on my ears
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who`ll stop the rain?

Someone told me long ago
There`s a calm before the storm
I know, It`s been comin` for some time
When it`s over, so they say
It`ll rain a sunny day,
I know, shining down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin` down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
Till forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can`t stop, I wonder

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin` down on a sunny day?


Left a good job in the city (Down in the city)
Workin` for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
(And I was) Worryin` about the way that things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin
Proud Mary keep on burnin`
And we`re rollin` (Rollin`)
Rollin` yeah (Rollin`), rollin` on the river (Rollin` on the river)
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(You know I) And I pumped a lot of `pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of that city until I hitched
A ride on the river boat Queen
Big wheel keep on turnin`
Proud Mary keep on burnin`
And we`re rollin` (Rollin`)
Rollin` yeah (Rollin`), rollin` on the river (Rollin` on the river)
Said we`re rollin` (Rollin`)
Rollin` yeah (Rollin`), rollin` on the river (Rollin` on the river)
I left a good job in the city
