And then I saw a rainbow

 I was down on my luck

I thought I was a goner

I was going down hill

Like a runaway truck

I took out my dollar bill

And looked through the honour

Just then I saw a rainbow

And the sun shone through

The fires on the mountain were smoking

The smoke clouds blocking my vision

And the in and out of the country scout

Burned my ears with his joking

I sunk down on my knees in derision

I thought it all was doom and gloom

And then I saw a rainbow 

And the sun shone through
