Derroll in the Rain 
The rain fell on the people but they never went away In an open field in Cambridge It was there I watched him play He sung songs of his homeland And doved the valleys that he loved Of the mountains and the wonders And the great sky that they hugged 
cho: He spoke about his music and about his love of life, About the people that surround him, his best friends and his wife He spoke of great injustice to the places he once knew, Ah nature how you've suffered, wherein freedom once you grew Oh Derroll was his name, his voice as gentle as could be He played his music all over Singing his songs for you and me 
He told to the people about to the war that had begun You know there killing one another father brother and son He sang of an old woman who had children 1, 2, 3 Of the heartbreak when he told her how they killed her family 
Yes I watched in the rain From gentle voices word did sound His wrinkled had that played his banjo And all the people stood around
