Rainy Day Woman
Waylon Jennings · Double Play [2010]
I've never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine,rainy day woman
That woman of mine she ain't happy
Unless she finds something wrong and has someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
Oh rainy day woman
I've never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine,rainy day woman
I woke up this morning to the sunshine
It sure as hell looks just like rain
I know where to go on a cloudy day
Chorus(x2).
Rainy Day Woman

Known for his deep baritone and innovative production techniques, Jennings often selected material that resonated with his own narrative style. This recording highlights his versatility within the country genre, demonstrating how he could adapt a folk-rock standard into a performance that felt entirely his own. The song remains a testament to his enduring influence on country music and his capacity to breathe new life into well-known compositions.
