Daddy told me he wa'n't nothing but a snake oil dealer

to these desperate farmers Howard seemed like a faith healer

Howard told the people if they wanted to have water
D C Em
sign the dotted line, bring him their money wine and daughters
Em C
common folk get desperate when there's nowhere left to turn

last summer was a scorcher, their fields were sun burned

he winked and laughed and told them, I'll make it rain on you
