    I think that it is supposed to be rains or freezes.

    There is considerable debate about the actual authorship of this song, with partisans leaning to Ernie Marrs, Ed Cromarty and George Rush (the Goldcoast Singers), and to old revival-tent spirituals. It seems that the original was in fact the Goldcoast Singers, but in the context of a fake spiritual radio broadcast, including only two verses and no chorus. Marrs developed it into a much more complete song, and apparently took credit.

    I don't know about the movie but maybe they had to change a word to keep from paying royalties.

    I love that song. Particularly the Mojo Nixon & Jello Biafra version.
