Haggard, Merle - Rainbow Stew Lyrics






There's a big brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
And the price of life is too high to give up
Gotta come down again
When the world wide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinking that free bubble up
And eating that rainbow stew

When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And sunlight heats our home
One of these days when the air clears up
And the sun come shining through
We'll all be drinking that free bubble up
And eating that rainbow stew

[Chorus]
Eating rainbow stew with a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinking that free bubble up
And eating that rainbow stew

[Music break]

You don't have to get high to be happy
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta to be doin'
They won't be booing no more
When a president goes through the white house doors
An' does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinking that free bubble up
And eating that rainbow stew

[Chorus 2x]

    “When a President goes through the White House doors ad does what he says He’ll do”! I guess it’s time for us to start eating Rainbow Stew!!!!

    E.... H....

    Half the country doesn’t want the President to do what he says he’ll do, half the country don’t want to eat Rainbow Stew.

    Ironic that that this country music icon is singing the ultimate socialist song

  8. S.... U....

    I think burning water, running cars without gasoline and flying airplanes without fuel is possible but, making politicians do what they suppose to be doing is a science that I don't think human race is invented yet, maybe rubber ducky knows it. R.I.P. and thanks for this song Merle Haggard and thanks for upload.

    There's a big, brown cloud in the city
    And the countryside's a sin

    The price of life is too high to give up

    It's gotta come down again

    But worldwide war is over and done

    And the dream of peace comes true

    We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    When they find out how to burn water

    And the gasoline car is gone

    When an airplane flies without any fuel

    And the satellite heats our home

    But one of these days when the air clears up

    And the sun comes shinin' through

    We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon

    Underneath that sky of blue

    We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    Alright, Parky?

    Here comes Don

    You don't have to get high to get happy

    Just think about what's in store

    When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'

    Then they won't be booin' no more

    When a President goes through the White House door

    Does what he says he'll do

    We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon

    Underneath that sky of blue

    We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon

    Underneath that sky of blue

    We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb

    And eatin' that rainbow stew

    m.... R....

    @War Goblin About as likely as Merle is to jump up from the grave .. Unfortunately, C & W became "hillbilly" (a/k/a "New Traditionalists") not long after that song/album came out. I doubt we'll ever see it that way again ..
