Oh, it's raining, raining, raining here this morning
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
With a smile, I tried to greet each early dawning
But they've given me a number for my name
Many little raindrops are falling close to me
Makes all the streams and rivers as muddy as can be
It's raining, raining, raining here this morning
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
I wish I could see my little darling
And hold her in my arms as before
Well, I used to tell her every day I loved her
But now she doesn't love me anymore
She knew that I was guilty of this one crime
And she said she'd be waiting there for me
But she has found somewhere else to wander
Where the Mississippi flows on to the sea
Oh, it's raining, raining, raining here this morning
And I'm just as weary as can be
How I wish I could follow all the raindrops
Down the Mississippi toward the silver sea
But there's no way to prove I'm not guilty
So I'll have to suffer all this shame
Go and tell her for me, little raindrop
That they've given me a number for my name
Oh, it's raining, raining, raining here this morning
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
With a smile, I tried to greet each early dawning
But they've given me a number for my name
Many little raindrops are falling close to me
Makes all the streams and rivers as muddy as can be
It's raining, raining, raining here this morning
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
