As recorded by SAM BROWNE with JAY WILBUR & HIS BAND:

She was dressed in simple taste
Curly head and dimple faced
And she had no time to waste
In a shelter from a shower

He was in a hurry too
Kind of worried what to do
It's a tale that isn't new
In a shelter from a shower

The little raindrops in the sky
Knew that the girl was very shy
And that the boy was afraid and meek
The raindrops pitter-pattered by
And said the streets will soon be dry
The little girlie is yours, just speak

What he whispered you can guess
And she shyly answered, "Yes"
So they found their happiness
In a shelter from a shower

********************


In both the FREDDY MARTIN and TODD ROLLINS recordings,
the vocalists sing a different last verse:

It was a romance of the rain
Both were waiting for a train
And they'll never meet again
In a shelter from a shower
