It was raining and the grounds and the people and the animals at the Blaine County Kids' Rodeo were wet and covered in mud. Walter Horn wasn't bothered by the rain.

The lyrics, “Ah, ha, oh, no, don’t let the rain come down, my roof’s got a hole in it and I might drown” woke me as once more waters pounded my roof and the lake of run-off lapped against the west side of my casita. The early ’60s voice of Ronnie Hilton crooned into my ear, silly lyrics to a slightly calypso beat.
