California Showers - Lightnin' Hopkins
Just take a look at the weather It keep rainin' all the time Just take a look at the weather It keep rainin' all the time You know it be rainin' this minute and the next minute You look up and you'll see sunshine Tell me why there's rain Why it storm in California all the time Tell me why do it rain Why it storm in California all the time I don't want the rain But you still have plenty sunshine You know it keeps on rainin' You know this poor man can't make no time You know if it keeps on rainin' You know this poor man can't make no time You know if I can't go to my job How I'm gonna feed this family of mine? You know the poor children are runnin' "I'm hungry" When I don't have a lousy dime Poor children runnin', cryin' "Daddy I'm hungry" And I don't have a lousy dime That's the reason I was singin' when it started rainin' in California Why do it keep rainin' all the time? You know it was dark and cloudy Raindrops settled on my window pane You know it was dark it was cloudy The raindrops settled on my window pane You know my children didn't have nothin' to eat Now peoples ain't that a cryin' shame My poor wife walkin' Tellin' the children this is a cryin' shame My poor wife walkin' Tellin' the children this is a cryin' shame Yeah we all goin' down starvation I do believe But your daddy ain't to blame That's all right, that's all right You don't have to worry no more That's all right, that's all right Children you don't have to worry no more You know the sun is shinin
