Lightnin' Hopkins

California Showers

Just take a look at the weather, it keep rainin' all

the time

Just take a look 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 are 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's 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 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
