Keeps On a-Raining - Billie Holiday

Miscellaneous

KEEPS ON RAININ'

Spencer Williams / Max Kortlander

One dark and stormy night

Big John was feeling blue

Ain’t he didn’t seem right

So he didn’t know just what to do

I said do please tell me

Ain’t you satisfied?

He looked around so pitiful

And to me he replied

Keeps on raining

Look how it’s raining

Daddy he can’t make no time

Wind keeps blowing

Howl wind’s blowing

Soon I’ll find

In the winter time

When it starts to snow

I know, Billy

You’ve got to have some dough

Keeps on raining

Look how it’s raining

Daddy he can’t make no time

Ain’t the rain just beautiful

Some people say

But I’d rather see it

In a fine movie place

Keeps on raining

Look how it’s raining

Your daddy he can’t make no time

No daddy he can’t make no time
