Montgomery In The Rain

WELL HERE I AM AGAIN DOWN IN MONTGOMERY ALABAM

MY LUCK AIN'T NEVER BEEN UP BUT I'M USED TO IT DOWN

SO ALL YOU PEOPLE DON'T LOOK AT ME AND FROWN

I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE AND I'M JUST PASSING THROUGH YOUR TOWN

AND I JUST CAME BACK HERE TO SEE AN OLD STAINED WINDOW PANE

BEFORE YOU TEAR IT ALL DOWN AND BRING OUT YOUR CRANE

I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY I THE RAIN......



AROUND THESE STREETS AND OLD HOUSES

ALOT OF CHANGES I BEEN THROUGH,

FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWN TO WASHING CARS ,

BEING DOWN OUT AND BLUE,

AND I ONCE MET A WOMAN HERE WITH WAYS LIKE I NEVER HAD SEEN

WE USED TO RAMBEL BETWEEN HERE AND OLD NEW ORLEANS

SO I'VE JUST COME BACK HERE TO REMEMBER A JOY AND A PAIN

TO LOOK BACK TO A YEAR THROUGH A TEAR IN AN OLD WINDOW PANE

AND I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY IN THE RAIN.....



SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE YOUR BABY

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO GET NO GUN

I KNOW I LOOK FUNNY TO YOU ALL HONEY BUT I'M JUST ONE

WHO WAS ONCE FROM HERE AND NOW WHOSE COME BACK AGAIN

AND I'M NOT ASKING FOR NOTHING BUT MY SONG A CEMETARY WIND

AND IF ITS ALL RIGHT WITH YOU BEFORE I GET BACK ON Y TRAIN

I WANT TO GO OUT BY HANK'S TOMBSTONE AND CRY UP A THUNDER STORM

CHAIN,

CAUSE I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY IN THE RAIN.......
