The sky look misty and cloudy
Looks like rain's gonna fall today
Since morning I have been sowing my seed
Waiting for the rain to drop and water it all lord oh yea
Oh wu yeah
Cause I'm a hungry man
And I don't wanna be angry
Send down the rain
To water up my seed ye
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Cause I'm a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Papa papa papayo
Jagajaga jaga yo
Send down the rain
Cause I'm a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Mama mama mamayo
Jaga jaga jagayo

Everything in life has got its time and seasons
So you don't have to ask me why
You don't expect to sow cassava
And reap up cocoyam
You don't expect to sow rice
And reap up cassava
Whatsoever I and I soweth in this world
We must surely reap
Cause I'm a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Papa papa papayo
Yagaya yaga yagayo

Jah is my song and that will make me feel strong even though they say I'm wrong I'm gonna live long
Jah is my song and that will make me feel strong even though they say I'm wrong I'm gonna live long
