Annette Hanshaw - I Get The Blues When It Rains - 1929

1929

It was raining, Dear, when I met you
You smiled, the sun shone through
Then it rained again and I lost you
Just why I never knew
Now every time the storm clouds gather way up in the sky
I see them all and I recall those happy days gone by

I get the blues when it rains
The blues I can't lose when it rains
Each little drop that falls on my window pane
Always reminds me of the tears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again
It rained when I found you and it rained when I lost you
That's why I'm so blue when it rains

I get the blues when it rains
I lose my rouge when it rains
Each little drop puts a shine right on my nose
Each taxi cab splashes mud on my silk hose
No where to go in the rain
And card playing gives me a pain
I haven't got a fella, not even an umbrella
Oh, I get the blues when it rains! "That's All!"
