SOME COLD RAINY DAY
Bertha "Chippie" Hill - 1928
You'll come back some old day
When your head is turning gray,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
Baby, look where the sun's done gone,
Now, you're gonna leave your home,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
When the snow begins to fall,
And you ain't got no friends at all,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
Hmmmmm,
Hmmmmm,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
When your stomach hangs like an empty sack,
And it feels like it's lower in your back,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
When you can't get out on your run,
And you need to have your lovin' done,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
When you get down, sick in your bed,
And you need someone to hold your achin' head,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
Now, when your good man turns you down,
And your feet is out on the ground,
You'll come back some cold, rainy day.
