A Poem / Song

Drought in Alabam’

It’s dry down here in Alabam’
We’re waiting for a rain.
It’s dry down here in Alabam’
For nine months it’s been the same.

It’s dry down here in Alabam’
I’ve been looking to the sky.
It’s dry down here in Alabam’
I see no clouds and sigh.

We’re waiting for a big storm
It needs to last for days,
And when it’s o’er,
There will be no more,
Drought in Alabam’.

It’s dry down here in Alabam’
The leaders called for prayer.
It’s dry down here in Alabam’
And no one wants to share.

It’s dry down here in Alabam’
But we keep pressing on.
It’s dry down here in Alabam’
Who’ll notice when it’s gone?

We’re waiting for a big storm
It needs to last for days,
And when it’s o’er
There will be no more,
Drought in Alabam’.
