PARODY ON "REIGN, MASTER JESUS,
REIGN!"
Oh rain! Oh rain! Oh rain, "good" Mosser! Rain, Mosser, rain! Rain hard! Rain flour an' lard an' a big hog head Down in my back yard.
An' w'en you comes down to my cabin, Come down by de corn flel'. If you cain't bring me a piece o' meat, Den bring me a peck o' meal.
Oh rain ! Oh rain! Oh rain, "good" Mosser! Dat good rain gives mo' rest. "What d'you say? You Nigger, dar!"— "Wet ground grows grass best."
