Here's one more verse that I know:

Cloudy in the east and it looks like rain,
Looks like rain, Lord, looks like rain.
Cloudy in the east and it looks like rain,
And I'm on my lond journey.

It's such a short tune that I sing it as a medly with "The Roving Gambler",which has a somewhat similar melody.


Add "Poppa writes to Johnny" to the list of similar melodies.
