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...
