| Every time my ship comes in A hurricane blows it out again
|
| Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
|
| My sweet bird of paradise
|
| Flew the coop on me last night
|
| Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour
|
| I got a letter from the I.R.S
|
| They said, son, you’re in a hell of a mess
|
| Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more
|
| That machine’s made a bad mistake
|
| 'Cause that’s more than this poor boy makes
|
| Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour
|
| Every time it rains I just wash my car
|
| The whole neighbourhood goes
|
| Swimmin' in my front yard
|
| Well, my mother-in-law says she’s
|
| Stayin' three weeks more
|
| Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour
|
| Just got my car out of the shop
|
| Two blocks down the street it stopped
|
| I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
|
| I walked back to my Chevrolet
|
| But they towed that sucker away
|
| Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour
|
| Every time it rains I just wash my car
|
| The whole neighbourhood goes
|
| Swimmin' in my front yard
|
| Well, my mother-in-law says she’s
|
| Stayin' three weeks more
|
| Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour
|
| Well, every time it rains, Lord don’t it pour |
