Every Time It's Raining

All days are dark days

Sorrow has laid waste

Oh my darling don’t lay awake

Hold fast and make haste

Every time it’s raining

Every drop just drips down my nose

Ain’t no use explaining

I’ve got to go

Cold sweats, night creeps

No rest no sleep

Call the doctor and burn the sheets

So long, set free

Every time it’s raining

Every drop just drips down my nose

Ain’t no use explaining

I’ve got to go

It may seem crazy

But it’s our only hope

I could work this land for twenty long years

Just to break my back, crops rot in the fields

Or I could take my chances on these stone streets

In the tenement rooms with the rats and the fleas

All days are dark days

Sorrow has laid waste

Call the captain to light the way

Hold fast and make haste
