Rainy day, rainy day 

Ya oughta hear my baby sing the blues 

Rainy day, some rainy day 

You oughta hear my baby sing the blues now 

Now an she said she just walkin' around 

Just to tell these strange people the news 

Now what's the use of loving? 

Peoples, said I don't see why I should 

What's the use of love? 

Peoples, said I don't see why I should now 

Now, an you know this little woman that I'm lovin' 

Lord, an she don't mean me no good 

Now but that would be alright, now 

My bad luck ain't going to last always 

Now but that would be alright 

My bad luck ain't going to last always 

Now just because I'm down an out now 

I'm gonna see some ol' lucky day 

Take care of my wife an my baby 

Tell 'em that I'll be back home someday now 

Take care of my wife and my baby 

Tell 'em I'll be back home someday now 

Now tell 'er that she ain't actin' nothin' but a fool 

Doggin' me 'round this way 

Lord, sometime I go out walkin' 

People, go out walkin' to myself 

Lord, sometime I go out walkin', now 

Go out walkin', talkin' to myself, now 

Now because my baby be's on my mind 

An I don't be's thinkin' about nobody else 

Now I'm-a just as sure 

Just as sure as one an one is two now 

Now am I just as sure 

Just as sure as one an one is two now 

Now, when I give you my money 

Babe, I'm gon' be up 'n dead like you, now.
