Rain Bitten Earth


I’m just a rebel,
A rolling pebble
Who’s rollin’ along
The rain-bitten earth.

My clothes are dirty
And I’m far from pretty
As I roll along
The Rain-bitten earth.

The rain-bitten earth
And the cloudy gray sky.
Lookin; fer the sun
‘Til the day I die.
There ain’t any fun
An’ there ain’t any mirth
Anywhere I’ve looked
On the rain-bitten earth.

What would I ‘come,
If I wasn’t a bum
Travellin’ along
The rain-bitten earth?

Got nothin’ to my name
But a sack on a cane
And my voice in song
On the rain-bitten earth.
