[Verse 1] Rain on the tin roof Makes my blood run mean Kettle's singing low Mud by the screen My boots by the door My woman by my side But a hard old trouble Keeps walking inside [Pre-Chorus] Drop that chain, baby Lock this day away Let the storm get jealous Let the dark stay [Chorus] Rain, rain, stay right there I got my woman in the chair Rain, rain, beat that drum I got my mercy under thumb Rain, rain, wash the road Leave me here with this warm old load (leave me here) (rain, rain) [Verse 2] Black dog curled up On a ragged quilt Steam on the window Like a soul that's built Beans in the pot And the firebone glows Thunder on the delta But my porch still knows [Pre-Chorus] Drop that chain, baby Lock this day away Let the storm get jealous Let the dark stay [Chorus] Rain, rain, stay right there I got my woman in the chair Rain, rain, beat that drum I got my mercy under thumb Rain, rain, wash the road Leave me here with this warm old load (leave me here) (rain, rain) [Bridge] If the river comes calling I won't move an inch I got honey in my hands And a hard cold flinch Let the sky keep fighting Let it holler and moan This old shack is shaking But it ain't alone [Chorus] Rain, rain, stay right there I got my woman in the chair Rain, rain, beat that drum I got my mercy under thumb Rain, rain, wash the road Leave me here with this warm old load (leave me here) (rain, rain)
