words and music by: Teodoro "Ted" Ramírez
Me and my family
Are living on a plain
Working everyday
And wishing for rain
We like a rainy day
When the ground is cool and wet
The air smells so good
As the sun sets
Oh oh oh
Living on a plain
Oh oh oh
Wishing for rain
I can hear a mocking bird
Singing in a tree
Sounds like he’s singing
Just for me
Up and down the scales
He sings so sweet
You can hear his songs ringing
Through the desert heat
Oh oh oh
Living on a plain
Oh oh oh
Wishing for rain
The wind is a blowing
Dust in my eyes
Off in the distance
Rain clouds fly
Closer and closer
They seem to come
Bringing me the rain
That I need and I love
The old men they watch
With a smile on their face
Their old women dressed
In shawls and lace
Oh oh oh
Living on a plain
Oh oh oh
Wishing for rain
