Montgomery in the Rain

WELL HERE I AM AGAIN DOWN IN MONTGOMERY ALABAM
MY LUCK AIN’T NEVER BEEN UP BUT I’M USED TO IT DOWN
SO ALL YOU PEOPLE DON’T LOOK AT ME AND FROWN
I DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE AND I’M JUST PASSING THROUGH YOUR TOWN
AND I JUST CAME BACK HERE TO SEE AN OLD STAINED WINDOW PANE
BEFORE YOU TEAR IT ALL DOWN AND BRING OUT YOUR CRANE
I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY I THE RAIN…
AROUND THESE STREETS AND OLD HOUSES ALOT OF CHANGES I BEEN THROUGH
FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWN TO WASHING CARS, BEING DOWN OUT AND BLUE
AND I ONCE MET A WOMAN HERE WITH WAYS LIKE I NEVER HAD SEEN
WE USED TO RAMBEL BETWEEN HERE AND OLD NEW ORLEANS
SO I’VE JUST COME BACK HERE TO REMEMBER A JOY AND A PAIN
TO LOOK BACK TO A YEAR THROUGH A TEAR IN AN OLD WINDOW PANE
AND I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY IN THE RAIN…
SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIDE YOUR BABY YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO GET NO GUN
I KNOW I LOOK FUNNY TO YOU ALL HONEY BUT I’M JUST ONE
WHO WAS ONCE FROM HERE AND NOW WHOSE COME BACK AGAIN
AND I’M NOT ASKING FOR NOTHING BUT MY SONG A CEMETARY WIND
AND IF ITS ALL RIGHT WITH YOU BEFORE I GET BACK ON Y TRAIN
I WANT TO GO OUT BY HANK’S TOMBSTONE AND CRY UP A THUNDER STORM CHAIN
CAUSE I DID WANT TO SEE MONTGOMERY IN THE RAIN…
