"Rain, Rain, Go Away" is a short children's rhyme:

Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.

There are several longer versions, the most common of which is:

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again.
Rain, rain, pour down,
But not a drop on our town.
Rain on the green grass,
and rain on the tree,
And rain on the housetop,
but not on me.
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again on washing day.
Rain, rain, go to Germany,
And remain there permanently.
Rain, rain, go away,
Come on Martha's wedding day.

As with many nursery rhymes the origin and meaning of this one is open for debate, but one theory is it dates to the time of Spanish Armada, and its failure due, in part, to bad weather.
