When you hear them cuckoos hollerin' (3x)
Sign of rain - sign of rain
When you hear them woodowls callin' through the night (3x)
Somebody's leavin' this old world behind
When you hear that high 'n lonesome sound (3x)
Somebody's on his last go round
Beg for mercy on your bended knees 'n pray (2x)
Beg for mercy on your knees 'n pray
Ain't nowhere to run to - ain't no hiding place
Beg for mercy on your bended knees 'n pray
Sign of rain - sign of rain
When you hear them woodowls callin' through the night (3x)
Somebody's leavin' this old world behind
When you hear that high 'n lonesome sound (3x)
Somebody's on his last go round
Beg for mercy on your bended knees 'n pray (2x)
Beg for mercy on your knees 'n pray
Ain't nowhere to run to - ain't no hiding place
Beg for mercy on your bended knees 'n pray
