In the Pouring Rain
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
I rode through the darkness, and I rode the night
I rode through the pouring rain just to pick a fight
Yes I rode through the hillside, and I rode around the bend
I rode through the pouring rain and I'd do it all again
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
I found him in the meadow, his back was bending low
I spied him in the meadow there but oh he did not know
Well the whiskey running through my veins, and temper being high
I picked up a mighty stone and I threw it through the sky
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
When the sun rose in the morning it shone through the trees
That sunlight came down to the ground and it sparkled like the sea
Well I looked to your body for a sign you were okay
I spied the blood upon my hands and I began to pray
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
Well I cried mother, oh dear mother, won't you come to my side
It seems that I have taken my true lover's life
I cried father, oh dear father, won't you come to my aide
The police will be coming soon to take me far away
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
Well they led me to the gallows with my hands behind my head
I stepped up to the rope, but god I'll soon be dead
And I cried lover, oh dear lover, meet me on the other side
I'll be coming to the gates
Won't you get me inside?
In the pouring rain, I called your name
In the pouring rain, again and again
In the pouring rain
