RAIN AND SNOW

Oh, I married me a wife,
Gave me trouble all my life,
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow.

cho: Rain and snow, rain and snow, rain and snow, oh, Lord,
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow.

Well, she came down the stairs,
Combing back her long yellow hair,
And her cheeks just as red as a rose.

As a rose, as a rose, as a rose, oh, Lord,
With her cheeks just as red as a rose.


Oh, I did all I could do,
For to get along with you,
And I ain't goin' be treated this-a-way.

This-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, oh, Lord,
And I ain't goin' be treated this away.


She came into the room,
There she met her fatal doom,
And I ain't goin' back there no more.*

No more, no more, no more, oh, Lord,
And I ain't goin' back there no more.

Repeat first verse.

* Obray sang this line identical to the previous verse.

(Traditional - Learned from the singing of Obray Ramsey in 1963)
I always think a song has more power when it leaves some of the plot to the imag
ination.

I understand the Grateful Dead had an interesting version of this.
