[1] Oh it's raining raining raining here this morning
As I sit in jail and hang my head in [5] shame
With a [1] smile I try to greet each early [4] dawning
But they've [1] given me a [5] number for my [1] name

[4] Many a little raindrops are [1] falling close to me
[4] Makes all the streams and rivers as [1] muddy as can [5] be
It's [1] raining raining raining here this morning
As the Mississippi [5] flows on to the [1] sea

How 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 [4] knew that I was guilty of this [1] one crime
And she said she'd be waiting there for [5] me
But [1] she has found somewhere else to wander
Where the Mississippi [5] flows on to the [1] sea

Oh it's raining raining raining here this morning
And I am just as weary as can be
How I wish that I could follow all the raindrops
Down the Mississippi toward the silver sea

But [4] there's no way to prove that I'm not [1] guilty
So I'll have to suffer all the [5] shame
[1] Go and tell her for me little raindrops
That they've given me a [5] number for my [1] name
