What's it really worth to you to shake the holy hand of fate
 Well I did what I could to make ends meet
 Been a gunrunner and a medicine man
 In a Kansas town I was a rainmaker - there the hand of fate got out of hand

 Rainmaker Rainmaker save this one horse town
 Rainmaker pray to heaven

 From the Flint Hills the land was cracked and dried
 Thirsty streets in misery
 I took the sign down that said medicine man
 Put one up that said rainmaker - that was me
 So the townspeople gave me money up front
 To light a fire - pray, and dance around
 Tell them it'd rain so they'd all go to bed
 And I'd make my break clean out of town

 But I started this dance and a storm kicked up
 The sky went black from coast to coast
 It was too late to stop - it was to late to pray
 I had summoned down the Holy Ghost
 Oh the searing wind and the clouds of dust
 And hell came raining down
 What came out of me and the powers that be
 Was the last of that one horse town
