[Intro]
C G C F C G C
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh it's raining raining raining here this mornig
G
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
C F
With a smile I try to greet each early dawning
C G C
But they've given me a number for my name
 
[Verse 1]
F C
Many a little raindrops are falling close to me
F C G
Makes all the streams and rivers just as muddy as can be
C
It's raining raining raining here this morning
C G C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
 
[Verse 2]
C
How I wish I could see my little darling
G
And hold her in my arms as before
C F
I used to tell her every day I loved her
C G C
But now she doesn't love me anymore
 
[Verse 3]
F C
She knew that I was guilty of this one crime
G
And She said that she'd be waiting there for me
C F
But she has found somewhere else to wander
C G C
Where the Mississippi flows on to the sea
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh it's raining raining raining here this morning
G
And I’m just as weary as can be
C F
How I wish that I could follow all the raindrops
C G C
Down the Mississippi toward the silver sea
 
[Verse 4]
F C
But there's no way to prove that I'm not guilty
G
So I will have to suffer all the shame
C
Go and tell her for me little raindrops
C G C
That they've given me a number for my name
 
[last part same as the first]
C
Oh it's raining raining raining here this mornig
G
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
C F
With a smile I try to greet each early dawning
C G C
But they've given me a number for my name
 
[Verse 1]
F C
Many a little raindrops are falling close to me
F C G
Makes all the streams and rivers just as muddy as can be
C
It's raining raining raining here this morning
C G C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
