Lyrics for Song: Raining On The Cold, Cold Ground (1963)
Lyrics for Album: Lonnie Johnson Blues Masters [1991]
My baby 's gone, and I don't know the reason why.
Yes, my baby 's gone, and I don't know the reason why.
All I know she's gone and I love her, I love her till the day I die.
Pouring down rain, on this cold, cold ground.
It's pouring down rain, on this cold, cold ground.
I'm all alone by myself, and my baby can't be found.
Tears in my eyes, begin streamin' down.
Tears in my eyes, begin streamin' down.
I have nobody to love me, my baby has left this town.
When it starts pourin' down rain, and my baby 's not around.
When it's pourin' down rain, and my baby 's not around.
That's the time I need her, my tears come rollin' down.
Mmm, when my baby 's comin' home?
Mmm mmm, wonder when my baby 's comin' home?
Yes I miss her and I need her, I'm so all alone.
Early this mornin', I heard a knock upon my door.
Early this mornin', I heard a knock upon my door.
There was a letter layin' down, layin' down close on the floor.
It read, Daddy, daddy, daddy, can I come back home.
It read, Daddy, daddy, can I come back home.
Please forgive me baby, I've been gone too long.
I say, "Come on home baby, this is where you ought to be."
I said, "Come on home baby, this is where you ought to be."
I seen my baby comin' down the street, and I'm in a pack of Christmas trees.
Yes, what a good feelin', to know your baby 's comin' home.
Yes, what a good feelin', to know your baby 's comin' home.
'Cause the love she has, she 's been gone so long.
