As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:

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 ev'ry 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

(Instrumental Break)

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 right on my silk hose

Nowhere to go in the rain
And card playing gives me a pain
I haven't got a fellah, not even an umbrella
Oh, I get the blues when it rains

That's all!
