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...
