California Showers - Lightnin' Hopkins

Just take a look at the weather

It keep rainin' all the time

Just take a look out at the weather

It keep rainin' all the time

You know it be rainin' this minute and the next minute

You look up and you'll see sunshine

Tell me why there's rain

Why it storm in California all the time

Tell me why do it rain

Why it storm in California all the time

I don't want the rain

But you still have plenty sunshine

You know it keeps on rainin'

You know this poor man can't make no time

You know if it keeps on rainin'

You know this poor man can't make no time

You know if I can't go to my job

How I'm gonna feed this family of mine

You know the poor children runnin' I'm hungry

When I don't have a lousy dime

Poor children runnin' cryin' daddy I'm hungry

And I don't have a lousy dime

That the reason I was singin'

When it started rainin' in California

Why do it keep rainin' all the time

You know it was dark and cloudy

Raindrops settled on my window pane

You know it was dark it was cloudy

The raindrops settled on my window pane

You know my children didn't have nothin' to eat

Now peoples ain't that a cryin' shame

My poor wife walkin'

Tellin' the children this is a cryin' shame

My poor wife walkin'

Tellin' the children on this is a cryin' shame

Yeah we all goin' down starvation I do believe

But your daddy ain't to blame

That's all right that's all right

You don't have to worry no more

That's all right that's all right

Children you don't have to worry no more

You know the sun is shinin' now

Cool breeze from the sweet wind how it blow
