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...
