[Verse 1]
F
Oh it's raining, raining, raining here this morning
C
As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame
C F
With a smile I try to greet each early dawning
F C
But they've given me a number for my name
[Verse 2]
F
Many a little raindrops are falling close to me
F C
Makes the streams and rivers just as muddy as can be
F
It's raining, raining, raining here this morning
F C
As the Mississippi flows on to the sea
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F
How I wish that I could see my little darling
F C
And hold her in my arms just as before
F
I used to tell her every day I loved her
F C
But now she doesn't love me anymore
[Verse 4]
F
She knew that I was guilty of this one crime
F C
And said that she'd be waiting there for me
F
But she has found somewhere else to wander
F C
Where the Mississippi flows on to the sea
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
F
Its raining, raining, raining here this morning
F C
And I am just as weary as can be
F
I wish that I could follow all the raindrops
F C F
Down the Mississippi toward the silver sea
[Verse 6]
F
But there's no way to prove that I'm not guilty
F C
So I will have to suffer all the shame
C F
Go and tell her for me little raindrops
F C F
That they've given me a number for my name
