California Showers Lyrics

Just take a look at the weather

  It keep rainin' all the time

Just
take a look at the weather

  It keep rainin' all the time

You know
it be rainin' this minute and the next minute

  You look up and you'll
see sunshine



Tell me why there's rain

  Why it storm in
California all the time

Tell me why do it rain

  Why it storm in
California all the time

I don't want the rain

  But you still have
plenty sunshine



You know it keeps on rainin'

  You know this
poor man can't make no time

You know if it keeps on rainin'

  You
know this poor man can't make no time

You know if I can't go to my job

  How I'm gonna feed this family of mine?



You know the poor
children are runnin' "I'm hungry"

  When I don't have a lousy dime

Poor children runnin', cryin' "Daddy I'm hungry"

  And I don't have a
lousy dime

That's the reason I was singin' when it started rainin' in
California

  Why do it keep rainin' all the time?



You know
it was dark and cloudy

  Raindrops settled on my window pane

You
know it was dark it was cloudy

  The raindrops settled on my window
pane

You know my children didn't have nothin' to eat

  Now peoples
ain't that a cryin' shame



My poor wife walkin'

  Tellin' the
children this is a cryin' shame

My poor wife walkin'

  Tellin' the
children this is a cryin' shame

Yeah we all goin' down starvation I do
believe

  But your daddy ain't to blame



That's all right,
that's all right

  You don't have to worry no more

That's all
right, that's all right

  Children you don't have to worry no more

You know the sun is shinin
