It's Raining Here this Morning

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

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

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

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