Falling Rain Blues (1967)

LONNIE JOHNSON, FRANKIE LYMON, MORGAN C ROBINSON, RICHARD BARRETT

Play one more blues for me. [spoken words – Moses Asch]

One more blues? Ok, I'll play you an old one I made long time ago. I'll
play you the first record I made for, for Okeh Records … Fallin' Rain
Blues – that was a big hit. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Storm is risin', the rain begin to fall.
Storm is risin' baby, rain begin to fall.
I'm all alone by myself, no one to love me at all.

My blues starts ‘long about midnight, and it don't leave until the break of day.
My blues starts along about midnight, and it don't leave until the break of day.
‘Cause I've got no one to love me, ‘n drive these worried blues away.

You think some people is happy, baby I swear you don't know.
You think some people is happy, baby but you don't know.
You don't know the blues and heartaches and stress, after they close the door.

You see people everyday, they wear a smile upon there face.
You see people everyday, they wear smiles upon there face.
But what you don't know about them, their poor heart inside is got no resting place.

Blues, they fall down like drops of rain.
Mmmm, blues, they fall down on you like drops of rain.
Every once in a while, feel somebody call your baby's name.

I walked in the rain. I walked in the snow.
I've cried by myself, but the tears didn't fall anymore.
Till I had nowhere to go, blues fallin' like drops of rain.
And way back in the back part of my mind was there like ball and chain.

I used to right some good ones, baby. Been righting good blues all of
my life. I write about the things that's living. Yeah, I've lived a beautiful
life. It's been kind of rough in some spots, like everybody have ups and
downs in life. Yes, I've seen it very sweet and I've seen it very hard. I
ean ... but you couldn't get a job, no kind of a job, nothing. But somehow
or another I manage it, I managed to make it. I really did. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]
