RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY. Copyright, 1893, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words by George F. Marion. Music by Andrew Mack. 
Gazing from my window casement at a group of children play, All absorbed in childish romping, sporting 'neath the sun's bright ray; Suddenly the heavens clouded, threat'ning but a summer's ruin; Anxious mothers seek their darlings, now their joys give way to pain. Pouting lips and saddened faces, naughty rain their joys disperse; From their little hearts the wail comes, nature's pathos in this verse: 
Chorus. Rain, rain, go away, come another washing day, For the children want to play; don't stay any longer, rain. Rain, rain, go away, come another washing day, For the children want to play-'tis life's story over again. 
See the husband and the father, on financial tempest tossed, Bankrupt, ruined, stagger homeward-" Heaven help us, all Is lost." Quick that angel-heaven bless her-by our side in care and strife, Soothing all the ills that greet us, man's best friend-a loving wife. Baby's arms are thrown around him, "Daddy must not cry that way; Mamma, papa's eyes are raining, sing, and it may go away." 
Chorus. Rain, rain, go away, come another washing day, For the children want to play; don't stay any longer, rain. Love dries his tear-dimmed eye, fortune once again he'll try, Determined now to do or die-'tis life's story over again.
