I Gets The Blues When It Rains                             Big Bill Broonzy


I gets the blues now when it rains,
Blues that I can't lose when it rains,
Each little raindrop that falls on my windowpane,
All they remind, baby, the tears I shed in vain.
I'd sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again,
Rained when I found you,
You know, it was rainin' when I lost you,
I gets the blues baby when it rains.

I gets the blues when it rains,
Blues that I can't lose when it rains,
Each little raindrop that falls on my windowpane,
All they remind, baby, tears I shed in vain.
I'd sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again,
Rained when I found you,
You know, it was rainin' when I lost you,
I gets the blues baby when it rains.
