WORLD NEEDS A WASHIN'
(Hank Cochran / Buck Trent)

Porter Wagoner & The Wagonmasters - 1969


Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Maybe the rain will wash away the pain
Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Forty days and forty nights that's what it took last time
To wash the world clean enough so the sun could shine
The way, the want, the wilfulness that seems to be the cause
It's time again for the rain to fall

Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Maybe the rain will wash away the pain
Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Maybe the rain will wash away the pain
Oh, the world needs a washin' so why shouldn't it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
