| Rain eyes that blur the rays of sunshine
|
| When all you see is seen through tears
|
| The whole world seems as though it’s crying
|
| Rain eyes, that’s how my world appears
|
| One sunny day in Lou’siana
|
| The clouds began to hover low
|
| And darkness came in early evening
|
| And brought a rain that would not go
|
| I’s just a child when mother told me It seems your father’s gone away
|
| It’s not his fault, my child, forgive him
|
| I should have known he would not stay
|
| You’re so much like him and he loves you
|
| But now his love’s for only you
|
| Although he forced himself to leave you
|
| Rain eyes that cloud the hope of sunshine
|
| When everything is seen through tears
|
| The whole world seems as though it’s crying
|
| Rain eyes, that’s how my world appears
|
| It rains all evening into nighttime
|
| Then rains all night and through the day
|
| My mother’s eyes are weak from crying
|
| Forgive her, she just lost her way
|
| Since you’ve been gone her eyes have clouded
|
| And darkness reigns her weary view
|
| She’d see again from your returning
|
| That God knows she’s in love with you
|
| One rainy day in Louisiana
|
| The trade winds blew the clouds away
|
| A mother heard her boy shout, «Father»
|
| My God, 'tis him, he’s come to stay |
