Like a raggin' flood that ruins the poor mans land
You keep doing thing to hurt me all you can
But the sickness that we have is a growin' thing
How much rain can one man stand?

How much rain can one man stand?
I gave you everything but my right hand
If you don't want to love me then don't let me be your friend
How much rain can one man stand?

I can see them big old storm clouds a-movin' in
There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again
And you told him that I was just an old time friend
How much rain can one man stand?

How much rain can one man stand?
I gave you everything but my right hand
Well, if you don't want to love me then don't let me be a friend
How much rain can one man stand?

How much rain can one man stand?...
