Rainin' on the ocean, it's stormin' on the sea Rainin' on the ocean, it's stormin' on the sea The blues in that shower, stormin' down on me I hear thunder, I'm caught out in the storm I hear thunder, I'm caught out in the storm Man I loved done packed his grip and gone I hear the wind blowin', I'm left here all alone I hear the wind blowin', I'm left here all alone The storm won't be over 'til my daddy come back home I see the lightnin' flashin', I see the waves a-dashin', I'm tryin' to spread the news I feel this boat a-crashin', I'm tryin' to spread the news My man has done quit me, and left me with the stormy sea blues
