You better come on in my kitchen It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors When a woman gets in trouble Everybody throws her down Lookin' for your good friend None can be found You better come on in my kitchen It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors The woman I love, took from my best friend Some joker got lucky, stole her back again She better come on in my kitchen Baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors Mama, can't you hear that wind howl? Oh how the wind do howl You better come on in my kitchen Baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors The woman that I love, I crave to see She's up the country, won't write to me Then, you better come on in my kitchen Goin' to be rainin' outdoors I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see Some other man got my woman, Lonesome blues got me But she better come on in my kitchen 'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors My mama dead, papa well's to be Ain't got nobody to love and care for me She better come on in this kitchen 'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
