abstract:"The Rains Came" is a single by American country music artist Freddy Fender. Released in 1977, it was the third single from his album Rock 'n' Country.
Therainscame up from India, washing the Himalayas, filling the rivers of the Punjab, pouring down water on the Hindu Kush and on the plain that extends from the Khyber to Karachi.
