Hovering by my suitcase
Trying to find a warm place
To spend the night, yeah, baby
And a heavy rain falling
Seems I hear your voice calling, "It's alright"
A rainy night in Georgia
Said a rainy night in Georgia
It's just raining all over the world, baby
That's the way I feel tonight
It's raining all over the world, looka here
Neon sign a-flashing
Taxi cabs and buses passing
Through the night, oh Lord
And that distant moaning of the train
Seems to play a sad refrain
To the night, oh, that's lonesome
But this rainy night in Georgia
It's a rainy night in Georgia
It's raining, raining all over the world
I feel that it's raining all over the world
How many times I wondered
But it still come out the same
And no matter how you look at it
Or think of it, oh yeah
You just got to do your own thing, oh yeah
I'll find me a place in a boxcar
And then I'm gonna take out my guitar
Just to pass some time
Are you with that, mama?
Then listen to this
When it gets late at night and it's hard to rest
I'll hold your picture to my chest
And I'm gonna feel fine, yeah, yeah, baby
This rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Oh Lord, have mercy, it's raining
Raining all over the world, yes it is
I know it's raining all over the world
I'll find a place in a boxcar
And then I'm gonna take out my guitar
Just to pass some time, oh yes I will
And girl, late at night it's so hard to rest
That's why I hold your picture to my chest
And it make me feel fine
I feel pretty good, mama
Feel alright, baby, still
This rainy night in Georgia, yeah
What a rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's raining all over the world
That's the sad news, baby
It's just raining all over the world
I know it's raining and
It's raining in my soul
It's raining all over me
And that lets me know it's raining all over the world
Hear what I'm trying to tell you, mama?
That's why I'm just sitting here now
Trying to finish off this last little half pint I got, you know?
And I don't know what I'm supposed to
But you know, as I think about this and I feel like
I know darn well that I'll be alright in a little while
'Cause you know, I can just get my hands on some sterno, you know?
And everything will be good
I'm almost gone, baby
I wish you would stop the rain
Somebody up there ought to turn it off, you know?
Especially since it's raining all over the world, you know?
