[Intro]
   
   


[Verse 1]

Oh it's rainin

g, raining, ra

ining here thi

s morning
              
As I sit in ja

              
il and hang my

         
 head in shame
      
With a smile I

 try to greet 

each early daw

ning
             
But they've gi

         
ven me a numbe

r for my name


[Verse 2]

Many a little 

raindrops are 

falling close 

to me
             
Makes the stre

              
ams and rivers

         
 just as muddy

 as can be

It's raining, 

raining, raini

ng here this m

orning
             
As the Mississ

     
ippi flows on 

to the sea


[Instrumental]
   
   
   
   


[Verse 3]

How I wish tha

t I could see 

my little darl

ing
             
And hold her i

              
n my arms just

    
 as before

I used to tell

 her every day

 I loved her
             
But now she do

      
esn't love me 

anymore


[Verse 4]

She knew that 

I was guilty o

f this one cri

me
             
And said that 

              
she'd be waiti

             
ng there for m

e

But she has fo

und somewhere 

else to wander
             
Where the Miss

        
issippi flows 

on to the sea


[Instrumental]
   
   
   
   


[Verse 5]

Its raining, r

aining, rainin

g here this mo

rning
             
And I am just 

              
as weary as ca

  
n be

I wish that I 

could follow a

ll the raindro

ps
             
Down the Missi

             
ssippi toward 

           
the silver sea


[Verse 6]

But there's no

 way to prove 

that I'm not g

uilty
             
So I will have

              
 to suffer all

     
 the shame
      
Go and tell he

r for me littl

e raindrops
             
That they've g

             
iven me a numb

          
er for my name
